The Me 410 B-7/B-8 were updated B-3 reconnaissance models that were never actually built. [1] The Me 410 C was a high-altitude version drawn up in early 1944, with two new wing designs that increased span to 18.25 or 20.45 metres (59.9 or 67.1 ft). The larger wings allowed the gear to retract directly to the rear.
