You can display the canopy open or closed. The open option has two parts and the closed has just the one, the canopy is moulded onto the rearmost clear part. Eduard has thoughtfully included the clear knock out panel on the port side canopy. There is also an internally fitted mirror [PE] to attach to the canopy.

The fuselage halves are split left and right and are pretty much entire. The only things to add is the one-piece rudder, panelling under the nose and the access door for the cockpit. The rudder is separate and one piece, though you need to remove the aerial attachment point seen on the Mk.I.  There are locating pins and holes to aid with the alignment of the two fuselage halves. A third of the wing fillet from the leading edge is separate. If you want to cut out the radio access hatch then Eduard has engineered a hatch demarcation line on the inside of the port fuselage. There is some internal detail for the cockpit just belowt he sill, but bear in mind the majority of the detail is in the separate cockpit assembly. The prop for all six marking options is the slightly less pointed spinner of the de Havilland 5/39A constant speed propeller. The propeller blades are one piece and the spinner is made up from two parts. The one-piece exhausts for the Merlin XII have a slight bit of shrinkage. There’s a decent amount of depth at the end of the exhausts to convincingly make them look pipe like.

As mentioned this is a new wing featuring the canon blisters. Four of the Brownings machine guns was retained. The almost full span lower wing features separate wing tips. The ailerons are separate and the flaps are in the raised position. The box shaped radiator under the starboard wing is made up from seven plastic parts including two choices of actuator to display the flap open or closed. There are three additional plastic part representing the plumbing. PE radiator faces are included for both the underwing radiator and oil cooler. Thankfully the canons are not inserts that form part of the leading edge as seen on the Hawker Tempest.  The four machine gun barrels are included if you want to show them, though you may want to punch holes in the decals representing the fabric gun port covers. The undercarriage bays are made up from thirteen parts and features the main spar. The subtle rivet detail on the walls of the undercarriage bay is worth noting. The gear down indicators on the upper surface are PE parts and couple of holes need drilling to fit them.

The horizontal tail surfaces are each made up from two parts, though the two elevators are one piece. The tail control surfaces don’t look positionable, but I’m pretty sure with you can cagoule them a little. Care is needed joining the control surfaces on the tail as there seems to be a sequence to follow.
