GreAt info on what's available. I have found that the quality of kits in this scale varies wildly and as noted here even good manufacturers take bad kits and re box them. The info here is great to avoid these dogs.
I also like the ability to add and paint the spinner last. I can't imagine adding the prop and spinner at early stages of construction. My ham hands break everything in sight so I leave off props antenna etc until last.
One of the scary things about modeling IJN aircraft is the constantly changing consensus on colors. I imagine myself putting the work required on the wingsy kit and finding the color is all wrong.
