Nice but rare picture of 10./JG 2 - question of markings
 

Hi,
I plan to make Lt. Rudolf Wieprecht's Fw 190 A4 "9 blue" (WNr. 142454) but the only picture I have from 10./JG2 is this 6 Blue Fw190.
Is anybody know that is this chevron behind german cross ? What color is it ? and does every Fw190 from 10./JG2 had this chevron ?
Thanks a lot for answer.

Wlad

This is a very well known photo taken 1942-3 of a Jabo of 10/JG 2 before the unit became IV/SKG 10

Thank for your answer, but all informations are in the legend of the picture...

The photo is not of the 2nd formation of 10/JG 2 (when Wieprecht was with it from Apr/May 43 to his death 4 Jul 43) but the first. The markings are peculiar to the first formation of 10 (Jabo)/JG 2 and as far as I am aware would have not been used on his FW 190. I suggest you look at my book 'Fighter Bombers over Britain' or Batailles Aeriennes No 56 'Jabos sur L'Angleterre'.

Thank Chris for your answer. I've got your book (in french...) in my library. I will have a look.
Regards.

D'accord!

Whaou !! artworks are from Thierry Dekker, one of the best aircraft illustrator in France ! Good choice !

Re: Nice but rare picture of 10./JG 2 - question of markings
 

So if I summarize, my Lt. Rudolf Wieprecht's Fw 190's profile will be a Fw 190 A3 (A4 ?) with 9 blue and blue chevron, with the 10/JG 2 insigna (little fox with boat in the mouth) in front on hood. Thanks for all.

Wlad,
Like Chris said, 10./JG2 is Not the 10.Jabo./JG2, so no bleue chevron and no little Fox.
The 10./JG2 of Rudolf Wieprecht was in the III.gruppe, so for me, Fw 190's profile will be a Fw 190 A4 with 9 blue + I
Maybe (like lot of III.gruppe's Fw190 in 1943), stylised eagle (without the head) just for hide the exhaust stains.
Fred

Ps: why Rudolf Wieprecht 's Fw190?

Re: Nice but rare picture of 10./JG 2 - question of markings
 

This machine is an A-2/3 WNr. 080 I believe. There is another photo that clearly shows the WNr.

Thank Fredo for details, I've made mistake between all these Luftwaffe units. I will show you my profile, it's for a french editor, may be for an article about Rudolf W. May Fw190 A4 template is ready, but I have to finish it as Rudolf's Fw190 blue 9 + I. Thanks you alls for your help

Hi alls,
Thanks to your comments, I've made my Fw190 A4 profile. Feel free to comment it if you want because I'm not specialist like you in Luftwaffe themat ;-)

Found a "well known" Foto of the "6" with "Fox" from III./JG 2.
Greetings Peglar

Not the 10/JG 2 fox but isn't this 8/JG 2's prancing wolf?

Re: Nice but rare picture of 10./JG 2 - question of markings
 

Sorry, my Mistake - 8./JG 2 is correct - 3 Fotos from that Fw 190 from an Album of an JG 2 Mechanical of JG 2, personally Huppertz and Stolle too. Seeking Fotos from Willi Morzinek.

Greetings peglar

Re: Nice but rare picture of 10./JG 2 - question of markings
 

I have copies of Morzinek's photos

Re: Nice but rare picture of 10./JG 2 - question of markings
 

Thank you for the information, even if it's 8./JG2, may be this update of my profile will be closer from reality ?

Do you think that the JG2 "R" symbole was painted on the fuselage ?
Thanks
