name that plane

[white1]

hi everyone, was wondering if someone could help identfy a plane from a movie. its probably been asked a hundred times before but, in the film raiders of the lost ark (indiana jones) towards the back end of the film in the desert what is that plane, it looks like a prop driven flying wing, is it genuine luftwaffe design or a film studio mock up. any info would be great

[John Beaman]

It was a Hollywood creation. Did look good though!

I have no doubt that Sack As 6 was an inspiration...

Actually, a 1/72 scale model was available at the time of the movie's release, along with a complete figure set etc. I believe it was fully built and painted though.
