Is that one of the two built for Italy? I don't recall seeing that engine type before, Nice!
 
As memo serves there were three planes built in total. But Italy bought two of them only. One was the Do X-3 "Alessandro Guidoni" registered as I-ABBN and the second one was the Do X2 "Umberto Maddalena" with registration I-REDI. The Italian Dorniers were powered by the Fiat A-22R V12 water-cooled engines. Judging by the engine nacelle shape that could be one of them.

Nice shots! I built a model of one in my youth, but I don't remember the anchors on the nose. Nice details.
 
IIRC the anchors would be stowed inboard during flight. The openings (hawsepipes?) were wide enough for the anchors to be lowered/raised through while in flight or on water. So if your model depicted the aircraft rigged for inflight the rectangular recess would have been there, but no anchors.

Looks like it could be 98 on the fuselage - a Heinkel He 8.
