Group: Members Posts: 293 Member No.: 275 Joined: 27-June 12	I have the Hase 1/48 kit with Condor decals but I think the scheme too plain for my tastes in that scale. My SCW collection is all 1/72 as well so it would be consistent. Would rather have fun hand painting some mottles in 1/48 A friend has the Airfix Club set so I am hoping to steal the Japanese markings while he does the captured RAF Emil! But thanks for the tip off.

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious Group: Odd Bod Posts: 1,547 Member No.: 1 Joined: 24-July 11	The side panels were split/overlapping and the forward panel could be slid backwards: This shows the difference between the E-3 and E-4 hoods, although E-3's were often retro-fitted with the later hood: peebeep
