Photos of Ju 88 A-4, Werk Nr.0881478 (4D+AM)
 
Does anyone have clear pictures of the tail section/rudder of the Ju 88 A-4 wreckage (Werk Nr.0881478) displayed at the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum? I am trying to determine whether this particular aircraft had rudder type A or B as illustrated in this image.

I know that the A-4 is supposed to have rudder "B" with the little notch at the top of the hinge, but I'm told that the early A-4s had the same straight edge rudder as the A-1s, so a clear photo of 4D+AM's rudder would be very helpful here.

This Aircraft has the early tail (A).

Ah, dammit. So I've modeled it incorrectly then.

Fabric covered control surfaces as well?

The Aircraft had metal-covered rudder.
