Looking for Photo Confirmation/Source

Dear all,

I have been stumbling across a photo on some russian website (attached) that I was trying to confirm a source for. Obviously, if you search the Internet for the photo, you will find http://www.litmir.net/br/?b=183558 which is where I have taken it from.

What I am after is the "primary" source - the image shows clear signs of a scanned raster image so I would think it had been paper-published some time before - but where? And if you have come across a paper-published version of it, does it give a source?

There is also a debate going on if the photo is "real" os a very good shot of a model - mostly because the tail antenna of the interim-nightfighter is so clearly visible as it usually only is on model shots...

Nonetheless, any feedback is welcome - one way or the other...

Andreas

[Edit: For clarification: I have posted the same question into forum-der-wehrmacht.de just in case some of you are readong both forums - just wanted to extend the reach.]

Dear Andreas,

I think that these are models made by Günter Sengfelder. Günter is an expert modeler and photos of his models can frequently be confused as the real thing.

Regards,
Richard

Dear Richard (and everyone else),

after having seen your reference to Günther Sengfelder and having received the same hint in a different forum, the matter seems to be closed. Very nice set indeed. Thanks for the input,

Andreas
