The model is from the Luft-X series of Nazi experimental aircraft. It is a well made resin model. The model is delivered on a stand without landing gear - it is intended for display in flight.

Why is the model made of resin and not metal?
The manufacturer chose resin because of the lower financial cost of producing the mold. This process is often used for models that were only in the prototype stage. This makes it impossible to release further editions of the models with a different colouring and would make the cost of the model disproportionate.

The Blohm & Voss P 210 was an experimental heavy fighter aircraft developed during World War II. It was to be powered by two BMW 801 engines and one Junkers Jumo 004 jet engine and reach speeds of up to 750 km/h with an armament of 4 30 mm guns. The intended use of the aircraft was for defence against Allied bombers. The project was cancelled due to lack of materials and resources, but at least the rear fuselage section with the propulsion system was completed and used in the Blohm & Voss BV 40 experimental prototype.
