The superb rendition of the complex mottle night camouflage scheme for night sorties over Britain from Villacoublay, France is the most striking and intriguing feature of this model. The camouflage is so effective that the model aircrafts' outline appears blurred and you have to look for the details. All the wing and fuselage panel outlines are present in the die-cast model. Crew figures are fitted in the cockpit, front and upper gun positions, plus machine guns protrude from the sides and belly of the aircraft. Bomb bay doors can be opened, plus raised and lowered landing gear parts and a stand are provided to display the aircraft in flight or on the ground.
