Re: Spot welded Fw190 fuselage

There might have been more production advantages had the aircraft been designed for spot welding in the first place.

My first company was Handley Page, where in 1969 I spent some time spot-welding Herald wing panels for spares stocks. The Herald suffered corrosion/drainage problems with its spot-welded fuselage but I don't suppose these Fws had the time or opportunity to build up quantities of "bilge fluids".
