If you scroll down a bit that is also the opinion of our own Steve Scheflin
Only difference seems to be the actual colour of the digit 5.....

Thanks for those, Christian. Unusual camouflage on the wings of that Fw 190 "12 – +".

Re: Captured German planes, not from eBay
 

Nick,

Possibly replacement wings from another Fw 190? As I recall, when spare parts were no longer available, parts from other nearby aircraft that were no longer serviceable were used.

Thank you Christian !

I found this photo during a routine search for other interests and thought it may be of interest.

Thank you for this find.


Note how close to the canopy the black cross is painted. This is the famous (?) Bf 109 F-4 having a Red (?) 19 painted behind the cross, a white band around the fuselage and a large Swastika re-painted on rudder. I have no other informations.
