I think, for me, this has to be the best looking fighter of WWII.  I have three 32nd scale Doras, here are two of them.

Yellow fifteen is the Hasegawa release and black six is the Revell boxing with the broad chord tail fin option.

They both have replacement cockpits, and the flaps are replaced by the awesome etched ones from Eduard.

The real appeal, apart from the look of this aeroplane, is the late war camouflage schemes with the mismatched panels and bare metal panels that give this aircraft such a look of desperation.

This kit just falls together.

The parts are beautifully detailed and the clever engineering of the tail means that the fit of the alternative tails are seamless.

The extra parts I used were to enhance the kit, although a fantastic job can be achieved from an out of box build.

As I said, I have three of them in my collection, but some more will be added.
