Construction

For the video I first built the left wing. However, according to the instructions, you start in the middle of the wing construction and work your way outwards. There are prints on both the top and bottom. The entire lower area is in baby blue. After the two engines and the fixed landing gear have been attached, it is the turn of the fuselage.

The almost complete fuselage is then tucked under the wing structure. The cockpit offers enough space for 2 pilots and even has glass windows, which COBI has omitted from some other models.

Conclusion:

This model is of course impressive in terms of quality. As a collector, it naturally belongs right next to the He 111. In terms of price, however, it is in the upper range.
