My very first (maybe only) 144th scale aircraft.
I did it up as "white 3". I added the wiring and hoop aerial, as these were not standard with the kit. I learned a few lessons from the little guy, namely not to underestimate so tiny an opponent. I have found new levels of respect for any who would dare to drop into 144 scale. I doubt I would make a regular habit as it was very trying on my patience.
I omitted the bombs under the nose, not realizing I was removing ballast. I fixed that up later (with glue) but should have added a small weight just forward of the cockpit tub. The Kettenkraftrad helps somewhat.
