The shape of the empennage is a big clue.
Next clue will likely give it away.
Even arguably the most well known WWII aeroplane was alleged to have copied the shape from one of the designers later aeroplanes.

That's the one!
Well done.
Quite an impressive aeroplane for its time.

Then my answer is wrong: this is not a He-64 but Bäumer B.IV.

Hi,
I'm not sure what that plane is with the spatted tricycle landing gear, but I sure would like a model of it

Way cool! I love those mid 30s "The Future Of Aviation Design" designs. A new one for me. Thanks Capt. Vick.
Time for a trip down Wiki lane.

Almost. It's a Fleetwings XB Q-1, early drone prototype. Note the spatted wheels.
