The test shot build:
We have already seen the parts on the sprue, but nothing tells the kit's tale like the model built up. We don't have that much insight, but we do have some points on the model as it is, just before release.

a view from above, showing the fine recessed rivet detail popular with many modellers.
A closer look at the closed-up cockpit area. We also see the bulged nose cannon fairings and the right-side air intake for the supercharger here. The flaps ont he cowling can be posed open or closed on this kit.
A loser look at the starboard side of this kit: the pitot tube looks thin, the propeller has some twist and the one area we see that could be butt-clenching is the very front of the radial cowling that has a little gap there.
Such an aggressive but elegant view from above on this bird. It will be a popular kit with modellers.
This kit has an extendable access ladder, but no other opened-up recesses that we can see. Maybe more will come with the advanced kit? 
A blown canopy and that long tail are synonomous to the D-9 variant.
You can see the full pattern of recessed rivets and the posable flying surfaces with scallpoed out texture.
From the underside, the inside of the wheel wells are fully fleshed out, which is an improvement on some other kits of the type. We cannot see anynasty seams on the underside of the kit to centend with.

That is all we know about this kit so far. See more about all of MiniArt's kits on their website...
