Fw 190 A-8/R2 Lt Bretschneider / two questions
Bonjour,

I have recently purchased the new Eduard model of the "Sturmbock". One of the seven options of decoration is for the Fw 190 A-8 W.Nr 682204 (red 1) of Lt Bretschneider of 5/JG 300 in late 1944. Pictures of this plane can be found page 70/71 of the Vol 2 of the books written by Jean-Yves Lorant = Bataille dans le ciel d'Allemagne (JG 300 story) or page 363 of "Focke Wulf Jagdflugzeug..." written by Peter Rodeike).

In the notice of the Eduard model it is written : "according to new sources, the inscription bellow the cockpit (Rauhbautz VII) was yellow with red shadowing... and the spinner carries a white spiral on a red background".
Does any follower of this forum could tell me what are these "new sources" ?

Could anyone explain how could "Rauhbautz" be translated ?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
RB
