Yes, it's an Fw 190F-8/R1 or -9/R1 of either 6./SG10 (Yellow 2+-) or Stab.II./SG10 (Green 2+-) - I can't decide which - and was photographed at Neubiberg. There's several other views of this aircraft, I seem to recall some of them are published in the AJ Press Fw 190A,F,G work,

Cheers,
Chris

Thank you :) All info I have before was from the JaPo but they are very short.

Re: Fw190 image
 

Was there any new info available on this machine in last few years?
Is the unit and color of the markings known "for sure" by now?

Hello Pilot,

This is an expected poor reproduction of the well-known and habitually-purloined photograph taken by my late friend, Merle C. Olmsted, post-war at Neubiberg.

As suggested above, the aircraft in question is Ar-War-built Fw 190 F-8/R1 (WNr. 586875) 2+ - yellow/or green, outlined black, probably last with II./SG10.

The color of its rudder is still an open question; is its darker gray value versus its yellow cowl band the result of being cocked to one side, or is it another color?

Regarding its camouflage colors, I have no reason to believe that it is in anything but 74/75/76.

Respectfully,

Steve Sheflin

The last I had/found on this, was that it was Yellow 2+- not Green ...

May I know the source or reasons behind this new opinion?
