These things HAD to have been a beast to land in a crosswind!

Anybody noticed the different nose profiles in the two pictures? They suggest some mods or perhaps two aircraft? Difficult to tell as no identification markings for comparison.

Being a test pilot for that ugly looking Stuka would really make me feel a little uneasy.
That kind of weight on both sides and full of fuel and the pilot and rear gunner you would think the wing would give out and snap right off there.
Be heavy thats for sure
