The fuselage and wings are all metal, which gives the model a high weight. The exhausts are also metal. The weapons and antennas are made of hardened plastic.
The model does not use classic model decals. Camouflage (grey-green), high-ranking insignia and small technical markings are applied by industrial pad-printing, which ensures color stability and does not peel off.
The model has a firmly extended landing gear with rotating rubber wheels. The structural lattice of the wing is visible in the details of the landing gear shafts.
In the tightly closed cabin there is a hand-painted figure of a pilot in RAF uniform.
The four-bladed propeller connected to the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine model is fully rotatable.
