I'm most afraid of the railings. Look back at the picture I added.
I mean if they can be made of hyper-thin PE in 1/350th scale, why are they wires in 1/144th?

If you need some pics of the BV 206 I took a lot of pics of the real thing.
I have been building that kit - it's one of those love and hate very long build - for more than 5 years, so if you need advice, please ask! Main issue: tracks. Probably I did something wrong but they look as if they are a few mm short. Interiors allow space for improvements but general fit is good.

Scalemates says there are only Spanish and Italian markings in the kit.
Hmm... See if I can source some. The US is actually in the process of switching over to the carb basically an updated version of the bv206.

You could build both, fill the skirts with weight and use them as bookends. Looks like a cool kit. Pantherman

So guess what just arrived today?
It came packaged in a thicker shipping container and above is what I found inside. Opened one end and this is what has arrived...
And I can tell you this is a monster kit in 1/350 with a ton of parts and extras. This is the Deluxe version straight from the VeryFire factory. It came faster than expected. So I look forward to doing in kit review out of the box before I do a full build of it. I'm very excited about this one, but also a bit intimated...lol.

Arrived today from a suburb of Tokyo!
I (personally) find it interesting that they are not listed as A6M2, B5N, or a D3A. I am starting to look for alternative paint and markings, but I think 1941 was a bit more uniform in that regard than later years.
