Example of another what if fighter from late in the second world war. This was an advanced, single engined, single-seat fighter with adjustable wing geometry. Whilst it did not progress to flight testing, a prototype was found in the closing days of the way some 80% complete.

This kit visualises one of the proposed night fighter variants, hence the radar 'whiskers' and alternative colour scheme.

It's an old kit, from the early 1990's. Whilst Dragon have made several new production runs of the kit over the years, there's been no new model produced since prior to the year 2000.
