I didn't know anything about the Hannover as a kid until I found the old 1/72 Airfix kit (I think it was in a plastic bag with a cardboard hanger strip across the top, to be hung on a hook on the hobby shop wall) when I was in high school. Airfix kits were just making their way across the pond to certain hobby shops in the US at that time. What a world that opened up for me--the Airfix line was far more extensive than that of the US manufacturers back then, particularly in WWII aircraft. That was back when my vision was 1/72.
I always liked that unique tailplane arrangement on the Hannover, and the low profile upper wing. Those features made the aeroplane very distinctive.
My WNW edition was ordered as soon as I saw it. Couldn't resist, what with that image of the old bagged Airfix kit in my mind and knowing how WNW would do the subject sublime justice in 1/32.
. . . and also because, unlike Dekenba, I lack any modicum of willpower.
I am developing an affinity for the workhorse 2-seaters, even though I have not yet built any of them. I'm working on the Lloyd right now, however.
Regards
