Looking for info on Heinrich Baer and his FW-190
Hello Sandman
Fw 190 "Red 13" (W.Nr. 431 007) with which he claimed his 201st and 202nd victories on 29 April 1944 was definitely an A-7 model as the werknummer block is that of an A-7. His "Red 23" with which he claimed his 200th victory on 22 April 1944 was also an A-7. I have always seen both these fighters as lightened without the outer MG 151/20 cannons. Unfortunately, I have only seen the port sides of these aircraft and thus have no idea if the JG 1 emblem was carried on the starboard side as well. Both these fighters were profiled by Claes Sundin in his books and he is a very well respected artist. I hope this helps and good luck with your model.
Horrido!
Leo
