Why not try building a diorama display, with this and other items to support it, maybe tell a personal family history story, or just something that you have an interest in personally.

The Arado Ar. 196 was the most commonly used German seaplane of the Second World War. Employed primarily as a coastal reconnaisance aircraft, it later served as an anti-submarine aircraft and convoy escort. Embarked aboard the German Navy’s most famous battleships, the 196 was often the eyes of the German fleet. Used during the Bismarck engagement as well as by the ill-fated Graf Spee, the Arcado came to symbolise the German Navy’s reconnaissance capabilities.
