Hi!
Does anyone know about any other pictures of the V1? A front view, perhaps? I'm trying to determine the shape of the underside of the front fuselage, from the underwing region to the nose. I suspect that the fuselage underside of the V1 was a smooth line nose to tail, without the step where the lower barbette was installed in later models. Unfortunately I found just two pictures of the V1 and the under-fuselage are not visible in the areas I need to see.
Lúcio
