Ar 240 article by Heinz Mankau

Not that I've seen. The ebay photo being the one shown on LEMB, with A-01 (probably) on the Eastern Front?

I would like to point out that I think Herr Mankau's work is magnificent, but I think in the modelling pages he is wrong where he deepens the nacelle to take the DB603 engine. I think the photos of A-04 in the Schiffer Profile show that the engine nacelle is increased in height over the top of the wing. Also, for the A-03/04 hybrids, there is a new extension between the nacelle and the outer wing panel, with an additional flap not seen on other variants.

In engineering terms, deepening the nacelle (including the undercarriage mounting) is a much more serious endeavour, and in my opinion not compatible with the general apporach to these two aircraft. Make your own decision: the truth may be out there but has not yet been revealed!
