The kit is presented as a limited-run package with three sprues of seventy-three delicately detailed plastic parts plus the addition of a fret of photo-etch and three resin components. The photo-etch is particularly pleasing as the machine-gun jackets and a full complement of harnesses are thankfully provided, which I feel is always is a big plus in such builds. The cockpit is just jammed full of detail and really builds into a fabulous interior. The bomb storage area between the pilot and navigator is one such section that is highlighted with etched metal bomb-holding cradles that rest over the lower floor bomb openings. These apertures can also be added as an etched section or a plastic piece. I chose the latter option as the fit of this section into the floor looked a bit ropey and the plastic piece could be manipulated more easily. The fuel tank on which the pilot sits is a resin piece as is the exhaust outlet pipe for the engine unit. Two pieces that do, from a detail point of view, benefit from being reproduced in resin.
