This aircraft served as an air ambulance for evacuating the wounded from the battlefield, making it a subject of great historical value for war dioramas. Its structure features a distinctive, elongated landing gear, giving it an unmistakable appearance, all faithfully reproduced by the Hobby Boss model. The kit includes authentic decals, precise cockpit detailing, and parts dedicated to the medical version.
