Re: Captured Fw 190 F-3
Hello again,
I just noticed that this "F-3" has all of the characteristics of a rebuilt airframe brought up to Fw190A-8, Fw190F-8, or later, standards.
These include: An Fw190A-8 4-gun wing (with only the two wing root MG151/20s required on an Fw190F-8); a wing leading edge gun camera aperture for a Robot camera; an A-8/F-8 bulged cowl gun cover and 2xMG131/13 machine guns; and a right wingtip-mounted pitot tube. It also features a late-war black outlined Hakenkreuz. All of these details point toward its being a rebuilt airframe.
