This kit is intended to go into a [[:blog:models:luftwaffe_latewar_display|late war, jet and rocket powered Luftwaffe diorama]].

I also bought a photo-etch detail set from Eduard to upgrade several areas of the model. It includes interior parts (dash, controls) as well as several missing parts on the original model (holes around engines, landing gear etc). It's an early part, so not in colour like many of Eduard's latest photo-etch parts:
