Fw 190A-9 W.Nr. 206000
 

Hello!

I want to know if anyone can tell me when Fw 190A-9 W.Nr. 206000 was accepted?
I hope to also find a Fw 190D-9 in the W.Nr. 210xxx - 211xxx range that was accepted at the same date?

Hello Rémi!

No I have not found anything new on this plane, sadly.
I want to modell this plane some day and needs to know when it was produced so I can figure out how it was painted. All illustrations of this plane, (exept Kagero), shows it in RLM 74/75/76, and I don't believe that to be true.
Focke-Wulf started using Dark green (83 or what ever it was called) and 82 sometime in November 1944 or possibly earlier, Lt. Theo Nibels Fw 190D-9 W.Nr. 210079 is the first noted to have used two greens on the wings.
I don't think Focke-Wulf painted the A-9's different from the D-9's.

My problem is that I don't know when when Focke-Wulf built the different A-9 batches in relations to the D-9 batches, how much A-9 production overlapped D-9 production.
You said that 206000 arrived to KG(J) 27 at 20 March 1945, but was it newely built then?

If this plane was fairly new in March I guess it was painted in greens!

Micke,

the batch WNr. 205901 to 206000 was build by Fw Cottbus during December 1944.

The WNr. 206000 did not arrive on 20.03.45, it was already damaged for 15% by 7./KG(J) 27 in a taxi accident on 20.02.45 at Wels.

The D-9 production was performed by a different assembly line at Sorau since August 1944 and ended there during February 1945. During January and February 1945 also Fw Cottbus manufactured D-9 aircraft in the range 212xxx and 213xxx.

So correct assumption is he returned to unit on 20.March !
