Although many more Ju88C-1 and C-2 long-range night fighters were produced than Do17Z-7 and Z-10, very few photographs of early Junkers with their original offensive armament have survived.
This is probably because these aircraft were soon modernized. This photograph is interesting because the aircraft was converted from a bomber. The underfuselage “tub” has a characteristic flat front panel instead of glazing for the bombing sight.

The prototype of the Ju 88C V1 heavy fighter was equipped with Jumo 211B-1 engines and armed with three MG 15 machine guns, and could carry bombs in its internal bomb bay.
