It's a Monogram Do-335 in 1/48. I got this kit as a combo WWII Combat set. Monogram boxed it together with a P-47 Razorback kit. I found them on EBay for about $15.00. The kits were simple to build, however, some fittings, fillings, and sandings had to be done. Overall, the results are very decent. I tried a different weathering techniques on the Arrow to highlight the panel lines. It came out ok. I used Tamiya smoke on the panel lines. And for the first time, I re-scribed the panel lines on the fuselage. I lost most of them on one side during sanding. The side with the open gun bay and engine bay panels. I left the raised panel lines on the wings alone. You know, OOB, and minimal repair if I can help it. The loop antennas broke off when I cut it from the sprue. Super glue couldn't help to put it back in shape during the sanding. I have to replace it with a cut from a brass tubing. Plenty of weight in the nose. Paints were from ModelMasters and decals were from Cutting Edge sheet #48131. Enjoy the pictures. I'll send you the P-47 pictures in the next Email. Thang
