FW190 yellow warning triangle
 

Are there any experts out there that can help with some detail on Focke Wulf 190's please? I'm trying to work out what was written on the port side yellow fuel warning triangle. For some reason I can find the starboard side: C3 100 with 292 Ltr and 232 Ltr written in black on the fuselage. I have also figured out the black text under the triangle on the port side - it reads 115 Ltr. Can anyone help with the text written inside the port triangle? Is it MW 30?

I'm trying to complete my painting of Schroder's FW 190 "Kölle alaaf!' If anyone's interested, the work in progress shots are discussed on my website: www.dreambird.co.uk

According to "Aero Detail 6 Fw 190A/F", it is "MW 50" within the triangle, with the "115l" written beneath. Earlier versions were marked "100" or "C3 100".

There is also sample with stripes and no letters. See JaPo publications...

I hadn't come across JaPo Publishing before. Very interesting. Thanks for the link. Did you do the FW190 profile artwork?

Re: FW190 yellow warning triangle
 

Yes I did, published in several publications last years...

It was my understanding that the Fw190 with BMW engines didn't use MW50 and the tank was used for fuel.

From what I have read, it was used with the BMW 801, but was not readily available until late in the war. Aero Detail did seem to indicate that the marking was more likely seen on the A-8/A-9/F-8/G-8.
