Wurger, my eyes aren't the best but I found a better quality image on the net (mine was scanned) and has the modeller included a semi-retracted dustbin gun position? The port wheel can be seen to the right of it...

Not a Wilbault in my opinion.
The Junkers has that very distinctive "notch" in the tail which can be seen above...

As to why it was added to that photo, who knows?

Ditto that sir!

When I first saw it I thought Stinson or Keystone or Pitcairn or something from the USA.
But it now looks like someone in the montage department didn't do their homework.

A good catch. Yes you are right. Because of the quality of the shot I haven' t noticed that. It looks like the rectracted gun station there used for the bomber variant of Tante Ju ..

Also I agree. However the "notch" can't bee seen at the starboard tail. But I would say it's the Ju-52 tail type.

Hi Graeme and Wurger, Yes, I think you are correct that it is a Ju 52.

The ventral dustbin and the combination of long and short cowlings on the engines is very persuasive.

I still don't like the nose profile, but that could be an artefact of the model or the photo
