E-2C Hawkeye

I have the Heller kit, and copies of the Fujimi A and C original issue kits. At some point Fujimi retooled their kit with the cockpit roof/ windows and different props and undercarriage. The Lee kit is a copy of this i think, and the Heller is a rebox of the Lee. The layout of parts on the sprue is slightly different and the Heller has heavier (and not as good) detail of panel lines and rivets compared to Fujimi. Looking at sprue maps from later retooled Fujimi kits I'm comfortable saying the Heller kit is not from the Fujimi moulds, but having not seen a retooled Fujimi kit on the sprue myself I might be wrong.
