Before (till 1934) this plane wore the number D-463 without swastika. But it still had the different tail and the black wings undersides.

And before it was converted with this new rudder, it had the "first style" rudder you are showing, but it was used as a float plane! That's the origin of the planes Name "Tauchente" (diving duck)

Best regards,
Andreas
No problem, Andreas, for pointing out the issues with this model. I did design the model with the black underside, but for reasons of "ink economy" I printed it in grey.
As for the different versions, I did not find much satisfactory info on what was used on what plane. So the model is a bit of an improvisation.
