The set contains 274 pieces including small bricks and specialized parts to reproduce the aircraft's distinctive sesquiplane layout, open cockpit, and rigging details at a reduced scale. Designed for hobbyists and collectors, the model builds into a stable, freestanding replica suitable for shelf display or inclusion in a larger diorama.

How to use

No adhesive is necessary for assembly. After construction, place the model on a level surface or in a display case to protect fine details from dust and handling.

Use tweezers for small parts and a soft mat to avoid losing tiny elements during assembly. Keep the instruction booklet and any spare parts in a safe place. For long-term preservation, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store the model in a dust-free environment or display cabinet.
