Nice review, Rowan. This doesn't have Adolf Galland's bird?? Curious. Maybe the AM decal folks will handle that.

It looks like they have made the same mistake that Classc Airfraims did, they missed two bulges in front of the windshield.

Hi Sergey
Good catch! I was beginning to go nuts looking looking for shots of the bulges in my references - until I found a crystal-clear pic of them on Trautloft's aircraft in Hikoki's "Condor" book.
I'll duly add them when I tackle the kit.
All the best as ever
