So, if I'm following all this correctly, a short version of the history of the Kato Blue Angel should go something like this:

1. Initial Kato version with long nose, sweepback and wing fences.
2. Revised Kato version with short nose and reduced sweepback, still with wing fences.
3. First MK kit, based on the revised Kato version, but without wing fences.
4. Yoshioka modification with full height rudder and dropping the ''jet outlet'' tail, 1973 World F3A Championship winner, referred to in the literature as ''Blue Angel Modified''.
5. Second MK kit, based on Yoshioka's 1973 World Champs winner, plans marked ''World Champion''.
6. Third and final MK kit with flush fitting built-up fin instead of sheet fin and fillets, revised canopy and other detail modifications, plans no longer marked ''World Champion''. This was probably the version of the Blue Angel flown by Yoshioka to 4th place in the 1975 World Championships.

And Mike is now examining the detail differences between 5. (the second MK kit) and 6. (the third and final MK kit). Am I getting this more or less right?

Best regards,
