Hello all,

Considering making an RC model of the 190V13, but one query.

Does anybody know from where did the DB engine of the Fw190V13 receive it’s aspirating air?

The books and drawings I have seen state that the intake under the cowl is the oil cooler only, and the annular cowling covered only the coolant radiator.

Photos generally only show the starboard side, however 1 photo (taken from the front Starboard) is just off-centre enough not to show any intake on the Port side if one were there.

The intake had to be somewhere – where was it?

Side photos apparently of the V15 and V16 show the intake in the expected position on the Port side of the fuselage.

Many TIA
