Fw 190 D-9, Werk 600424, "Red 1" JV 44

Hi!

I have a question about this aircraft.

On page 18 in "Doras of the Galland Circus" by Jerry Crandall, there is a close up picture of "Red 1". The paint on the rear metal part of the canopy is heavily flaked. The headrest has a wedge-shape light area.

If you compare this picture with the middle picture on page 16 in the same book, the canopy don´t look the same.
The flaking is not so heavy, and the wedge-shape area isn´t there.

There is a better picture on page 325 in "Focke Wulf Fw 190D, Camouflage & markings, part II" by JaPo publication, that showes the difference.

Is it possible that someone have change the canopy?

Regards
Henrik Bergman
