So the backstory sheet delivered with this kit says that while V1 was the Record Plane, V2 and V3 were prototypes for armed reconnaissance bombers, most probably for the Uboat support role supplementing the FW200. Not sure what their source was. I'll post that up shortly
I know there is much debate around this aircraft being useful for anything, but I'm of the mindset that if all German bombers were originally passenger planes that even a 'record plane', which is really just a fast airliner, could be made at least as useful as the luxury airliner Fw200, which earned fame as the 'Atlantic Scourge'.
So I chose to embrace this resin-makers notes and thus I took the liberty of adding a machine gun to the top blister. I will also add a bottom blister and *somehow* put a bf162 style bombers nose up front. Any good suggestions outside of buying a full 1:72 bomber just for its nose?
Cheers.
