Quick technical question about the FW190
Were the two rectangular bulges on the wing top of the A-8 also present on the A-6 and A-7?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Quick technical question about the FW190
Do you mean the MG access bulges? Those were present on all Fw190 variants.

Hi Giampiero,

Yes, they were the gun covers for the outer MG151/20 cannons that were introduced on the Fw190A-6, and they were present on all subsequent variants.
