- War in the Pacific. Corgi's model makers
did an excellent job capturing the essence of the real plane. The
silver paint is an especially good representation of the aluminium
paneling, and the shapes of the nacelles, cupola, and tail are faithfully
reproduced.
The various colors other than aluminium are well applied, including
details like the red outlines around the gun-muzzle openings and the
slightly rusted exaust and supercharger piping.
The model is well worth the price, especially since it costs the same
as the diminutive DH Vampire
with which it shares the twin-boom layout!
