Junkers EF043, a glide bomb?

[lippischh]

Hi everyone,

I've recently discovered this interesting wind tunnel model here : http://www.hugojunkers.bplaced.net/junkers-ef043.html. And there seem to be an indecision on whether its projected purpose was as a glider transport, or a glider bomb.

My personal impression based on the overall proportions and the wings' shape, is that it's more likely a glider bomb model.

I would love to hear your opinions...

I doubt that the designation EF 43 could have been applied to a glide bomb because EF 43 was most likely allocated in the early 1930s and the EF 52 seaplane program started in 1933.

This should be EFo 043, based on the link in the OP.

And thanks to Jemiba, we know that the EF and EFo series were apparently separate, so the timing of the EF 52 is irrelevant to the timing of EFo 43.
