Test aircraft for Fw 189 (perhaps?)

Good evening

This photo of a flying model is on eBay here. Could it be a test aircraft for the Focke Wulf Fw 189?

Re: Test aircraft for Fw 189 (perhaps?)

A most fascinating find. I recall seeing a photo of Hanna Reitsch and another woman with a model of a P-51 Mustang fitted with a hobby type motor. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I saw that photo.

Are there any articles or books that cover German use of small scale model aircraft?

Very nice picture. To me, it rather looks like a hobby model then a professional, experimental testbed.
