Looks like the Type 45 Destroyer radar golf ball, so either that or something based on the design.

I'm with Gary, I'd go 45 too

This is a new name to me for Scale models - I'd previously only seen their 'eggplanes' ,
but on their Facebook page......................

..........and of much more interest to me:

Their only scale ship & an unusual choice - a French frigate! - On their website it says full hull/waterline & PE included - Hannants have it in their catalogue, but no stock :sad:

That gives the appearance that they censored those planes’ the designations for the box art …

Never seen that aircraft before…..looks a decent kit as well.

I have been looking at this aircraft for a while now as JV44 had a Si 240D-1 on their books. Might have to see what the difference between the D and E are and might get this kit.

Infact Scalemates says there is already one. Bonus!

I'll have to agree..........been looking at and reading about WW2 German aircraft for a long time. I don't recall ever seeing a reference to this "guy". Does anyone else find it odd that there would be so many windows....even in a "trainer"? :thinking:

Probably was designed under the guise of being a commercial passenger aircraft (like the He111 was) so it could circumnavigate around pre-WWII regulations from WWI armistice.
