At least believe I have the version correct….
You probably have, but these sub-type variants seem very difficult to pin down! That same image appears on Wiki and is captioned as a plain 32 and their three view on the J32 B shows pitot tubes on both wingtips and no sign of that bulge under the fuselage that is just visible by the wing L/E on my silhouette (which seems to be there on the Wiki image if you zoom in, but not on the one you posted), which I'd swear was the same photo

Edited to say; strewth!! I took a moment to reply to Reg's comment and I've missed two challenges, Oh well, I did say let's get things moving

Thanks teusje!
Very similar to the Maeda glider that appeared here some time ago, hence my fast id.

Retouched image instead of proper silhouette due to fast pace of the whole thing...

I will indulge in a little self-celebration on the occasion of my 300th post...
That makes 300 posts, 33 kills, 3 of which I guessed today and 33 challenges posted so far... does a pattern emerge?
