Re: Me 262 Edelweiss /ebay

Hello Rémi,

I believe that the unmarked Fw190 in your Photo#1 was taken at Berlin-Templehof. As no Werknummer, underwing wing racks, nor Morane mast are apparent, determining its exact designation is impossible. Among its treasure trove of interesting details are: a blown canopy; the relatively-rare combination of a plain-black Balkenkreuz and a white-outlined black Hakenkreuz; a white or yellow tipped spinner; and a white or yellow tip on the front surface of its upper metal propeller blade. In addition, its fuselage ETC501 rack is hanging down from its front mounting bracket and it landing gear cover displays the smeared putty application across its bolt attachment holes.
