Hello Merlin,

Thank you for your correction. Boy is my face red. Clearly I was operating under an incorrect assumption.

On several photos of this Mistel S3C, the numerals “046” are visible in the lower rear quadrant of the fuselage Balkankreuz of the upper Fw190 component. Since most of the Ju88G-10s I have seen feature Werknummern in the 4600XX region, I made the intellectually-lazy jump to these being the last-three of its WNr.

In light of your information, could this number instead be a reference to the actual Mistel itself. What do you think, Sir?
