Hey all. I finally got a little break from family catastrophes and decided to throw myself into this GB with you all. This Hobbycraft model is a total dog but its the only game in town for this particular early Do version. I only hope to finish on time and not after the GB ends like my previous builds. Any advice on this plane is greatly appreciated. I've only found a couple interior pics of this earlier model plane.

Hey George..I'd greatly appreciate anything you've got on this plane. You can look at 10 different photos and see 10 distinctively 10 interiors!

Hello all....worked a bit on this crate. I changed the shape of the fuselage from the infamous Hobbycraft flying banana to something more like a pencil. I also thinned down the inside plastic on the upper fuselage and opened up these "vents", windows?

In Spain it is called the flying pencil or cod.
A registration number is used on some decals of the plane that dropped the dismembered body of the bomber pilot captured after being shot down and seriously wounded on the Jarama front over Madrid.
