Me410A-3/B-3 camera windows
 
I tried asking this on another forum, but I thought I would try here as well. I have been researching the camera layout in the Me410A-3 & Me410B-3 for some time, and I am still confused. I have drawings & photos, showing the extra windows installed just behind the existing windows on the nose. The problem is I also have photos & drawings from the Me410 Handbuch, and the two vertical cameras are shown mounted farther back than the new windows. I don't see how those cameras can see their targets, trying to look through the metal fuselage. Are there more windows, but they just aren't shown on any existing photos or drawings?

There certainly would have been windows installed in the fuselage.

"Unlike the inadequate A-1/U1 they had a properly designed installation of two Rb 20/30, 50/30 or 75/30 cameras in the deepened underside of the nose in what in other versions was the bomb or heavy gun bay."

Thanks for your input. I guess, without photos to prove otherwise, I will just put camera windows under where my drawing shows the cameras to be installed.

Cheers,
Larry
