Re: Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-8 "Red 3+-" “Kornjark"

Hello again,

Yes, you're absolutely right:
- Port side shot was done under hard light where sun came from around 8o'clock high casting that sharp shadow.
- Starboard side shot was done on overcast day, and "sun" came from 4-5o'clock, creating that soft shadow.
Both shots seem very precisely exposed & prints seem equally well done. In both shots detail are present both in the deepest shadows & highlights of the white parts of the crosses or glossy spinner spiral...

What makes believe that the darker starboard side is like that because of stains is the fact that even crosses are very dirty and it's quite rare to see aircraft with applied mottling over the crosses.

It's really unfortunate that we don't have any lists from late war years to know if the machine was in some of small accidents between two shots.

Kind regards,
Milos
