I had this photo for years but didn't know a very high resolution copy existed as well:
Check this link and you can zoom-in as far as you want.
Here's a sample:
For modellers and for all enthusiasts: one can see how the insignia blue was retouched with a darker (new) paint, how the yellow ring was painted around (and not over!) the black number 8, how the hinge of the hatch cover is new and unpainted, how some part at the bottom of the rear canopy, under the gun, was repaired/replaced and is unpainted etc.etc.
Enjoy!

If you are going to build a J-3 from scratch, why not build an L-4? And if you are going to build an L-4 why not build the most famous one, armed with bazookas?
