Your title confused me, [easy to do], I thought this was your build for the Blitz GB.
I can see in the kit the paired engines, and the box art shows single on the wing. Have you the option for either?

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Yes, it can be built as a B-2 or a C-3 ;-)

I must check but I think I read in Galland's book that he flew one of these on a recce over the D-Day beaches.

That should end up a corking little build!

I feel the need to track one of these down as though I don't do Luftwaffe subjects I seem to have built several including Frog's Uhu and Do355. I like the fact that you can pretty much build any version from this kit.

One of the engine nacelles is missing so I've changed my plan and will build the C-2 variant :roll:

That look nice Ratch. Very subtle panel line weathering.
