I agree. My use of hyperbole can be and often is,.. extreme-ish.  But my point remains, given the number of experten out there, plus the number of wholly original or just softly restored examples out there, there are no reasons to miss on this just do the legwork.

You're not on your lonesome by relying on Hyperbole on the Web Ernie.

But a case in point... the limitations of moulding and extruding styrene mean that 100% accuracy is problematic for even the best researched subjects. The diameter of the BMW801 motor is 1290mm...

The Revell motor in 1/32nd scale is 38mm across, short by over 2mm. It needs to be so they can get it inside the cowl parts and have them still able to be assembled closed.

Revell will get a pass on this. If Kitty Hawk do the same, which they probably will need to if they're putting a motor in theirs, there will inevitably be a group of Usual Suspects ready to use it as yet another excuse to rail against them and blame poor research... when it's merely a necessary evil of the moulding process.
