Revell Germany #08204 USAF 31st FW

a) The plastic wheels are on axles so they rotate!
b) The seams run from the starboard and port sides of the nose, follow the leading edge of the wing, and then travel down the wing roots to the trailing edge of the wing.
c) There are two (2) flathead screws joining the upper and lower halves of the plane that have been painted to match the underside of the plane.
d) There are four (4) elevated screw holes where the plane was attached to the black cradle/base from the packaging with pointy-tip screws. This is a better design than the one used by Air Command since you don't have metal-on-metal contact from the flat-tip screws and simple holes in the plane which can mar the finish on the underside (see Things that can go wrong with Air Command planes... http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/...threadid=30794).
