    The decal sheet i have is for a tulip nosed aircraft with 352 kills.The kit its in is an old Fujimi 1/48 which is sold as a Hartmann G6.However,the kit fuselage around the engine cowling area is definately not a G6.Research leads me to believe its a G10.The kit instructions tell you to fit the gun blisters/covers supplied to it to make a G6!.From what you've just told me i reckon i can build it as Hartmanns G10 with the Erla Haub canopy supplied in the kit..Looks like Fujimi got their wires crossed somewhere!.

      Yep,the G-10 would have the streamlined bulges you can see in the second photo. There were different types of these cowlings depending largely on where the aircraft was built. I don't know the kit so I can't say whether it will make the 'right' G-10. There was a bewildering variety of cowlings, oil cooler intakes,tails and other bits being bolted on at this time.
