Without looking in any books or so I'd say He112 or so. Don't know what the 119 looked like.

He119 it is.

Thats a 2.350 hp DB606 engine there btw. Pretty impressive for a 1937 design.

Never seen it before, wings look very much like the He112 wings though. Cool plane, what would it have been used as?

They planned to use it as high speed bomber/recon ac. Only 5 planes were built (four with retractable landing gears and one with floats)
