Fellows,
Have you looked closely at the picture?
Note the E4 canopy -squared off on the top? Not an E1 canopy.
Note the smudeged texture above the exhausts where the exhaust shield was, but that the triangle shape of the shield in front of the exhast stacks still remains?
Note the water under the closest wing where the cannon would be. See the more jagged edge between the 2 blue colors? Not blurred as smoothly as the rest of the water textures.
I would be happy to be proved wrong, but I would bet this picture is the E4 that has been PhotoShopped -poorly done at that.
Why, who knows? Maybe an E1 was intended to be built later. But did it happen? I don't believe this picture is any proof that it did exist.
Still, good luck with the search.
