Hi...
Thanks for your posting. It wasn't actually a photo the information came from, instead, it was a rather old colour plate in the Osprey series,
Luftwaffe Bomber Units, 1939-41, by Jerry Scutts . I know another plate in the same publication has errors, hence the reason I was asking for clarification.
The plan view of the plate shows A-1 style wings, but the profile seems to allude more to the extended A-5/A-4 style, and the rear MG arrangement is of the early double MG layout, but without each weapon having its own circular glazed mounting, but rather the original style apperture with the leather coverings round them, in an un-blistered rear canopy.
I was hoping it would be an A-5, as the recent Hasegawa model would more easily accommodate this version in respect of it's wings, but I would still be unsure about the rear canopy style and weapons layout, given the slight misgivings I have regarding another plate in the publication. If it had been an A-5 retrofitted with an A-4 blistered canopy, I'd be
very happy...

I wouldn't mind seeing the photo you refer to, as the Battle of Britain publication is something I don't have. Anyway, many thanks again for the information you've provided.
Regards...
