Jaws71 is on a distinguished road
FW-190 A8 "Red 11" of 14/JG54

Hello all.


I was lurking around here for some time but until now I didn't have guts to bug you.ops:
I was thinking to paint a skin for FW-190 A8 for the game "Aces High"
I saw this colorful profile and I like it :

I was looking for some info on this aircraft for two weeks and i found alost nothing. No Pictures, no werk number. . What I found was a lot of contradictions. First as you can see there are two color profiles floating around on the net. One grey (RLM 76/74/75) and other one in late colors green/brown (RLM 76/81/82). I posted on pacific fighters skins forum but I got little info. Unfortunately I have no werk number to trace the colors by production time.
The info I found identifies the plane as "FW-190 A8 March 1945 at Sachen/Germany, this A/C is based on a photo reportedly taken in march 18 1945". I saw some reference to a picture at page 372 in some book ( Docovin "Le FW190") ??. I was searching the net for the book but nothing came up.
Do You Gents have any kind of info about this plane. Photos, some reference to a book I could find. Anything would do. At this point i don't know if this was a real aircraft, or is just some nicely painted decal.
