The cowl fits tightly over the blanking plate behind the cylinders so the model can be posed with the cowl off when the propeller is made removable.  To be accurate, engine mounts would have to be added and the blanking plate would be replaced by "lamb chops", baffles that fit between the cylinders so air is directed closely around the fins on the cylinder barrels.  Still, it allows the well done exhaust collector and stainless dishpan to be shown.  The depiction of the R-1340 and the Hamilton Standard 12D40 propeller is pretty good.
