The BV Ae 607 design never got to the stage of being a prototype - it was a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_%26_Voss_Ae_607|design]] that was found many years after the end of the second world war.

This small fighter jet was bought to go alongside other late war German warplanes in my [[:blog:models:luftwaffe_latewar_display|WWII Luftwaffe Secret Base]] diorama.

In addition, I purchased a photo-etch detail set from [[https://scalemodels-bg.com/index.php/nh-detail|NH Detail]] via [[https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/NHA72-076|Hannants.co.uk]]:
