I've done this as a commissioned build for my boss, it's the second of probably four plane that I will do for him. The kit is pretty nice for being so small with nice details. I added parts of Eduards cockpit PE set, and a pilot from a Airfix FW190. The pilot was a bit of a tight fit, I think the cockpit is a bit too small, so I couldn't use the PE instrument panel without cutting off the legs of the pilot. Other then that and a pair of swastika decals it's build out of the box. The colors and markings are made up as there where none of these planes in service so I used what I thought looked good, so the top is painted in RLM 62 and 63 and the bottom in RLM 76 and 04.
