The Hasegawa kit which this eduard boxing is based on is a relativly good kit though it's showing its age. The biggest issue I found is the nose glazing which  did not have the emergency exit door. In this case I had to scratch build one which was not easy as I was dealing with clear plastic. It took me some time but I figured it out and I'm happy with the result. This bomber flew a number of missions over Italy but was eventually hit by flak and had to belly land with only its nose gear down. It was subsequently written off.
