Hobby Boss A-26 engines

I truly hope to be wrong but By looking at the review pictures of the upcoming A-26, I believe they screwed up the prop and the engines. The -26 used the R-2800 and this thing shows a 14 cylinders engine.
I usually don’t criticize models, but this is messed up!

I was looking forward to build one but right out of the bat, it needs two resin R-2800s and propellers.

I checked my resin stash. I have two R2800 engines by Vector.  Whether they will fit into the cowlings or not will be an interesting test.  On the other hand if they do fit not much will be seen and that seems a waste of two jewels. Maybe two engine fronts will do enough for the illusion.

They already did the P-61B before that has the R-2800 engine, and in this kit they have 18 cilinders, so way did they do it wrong now?

And their sister company Trumpeter has R-2800s with the correct number of cylinders in their 1/32 F4U, F6F, and P-47
