Fw 190 A-7/R6.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the origin of information that was used for creating the markings of this plane (usued also for the profile in "Aircraft in Action #19" (1975) and for the picture of Nowarra's book (cover) "Fw 190 & Ta 152" (1987). : http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/19/30/95/43/fini_610.jpg JCM |

Re: Fw 190 A-7/R6.
Hi JCM,
I have a photo (book unknown) : FW190 A-6/Neptun, with JG300 emblem on the cowling and complete set of antennas. Crash landed at Le Bourget, 6/7 february 1944. The WGr21 tubes are pure fiction! HTH Giampiero Piva Last edited by piero; 2nd June 2016 at 18:47. Reason: typing error |

Re: Fw 190 A-7/R6.
Last night I wrote longish post about this aircraft and then for some log in reasons I've lost the post so here is short version.
Photo of this aircraft is published in J-V Lorant & R Goyat's JG 300 "Wilde Sau" Volume 1 book (Eagle Editions) and is listed as belonging to II./JG 300. Furthermore - profile which is quite different from renders made in 70s and 80s mentioned above is published on the page 329 (artwork by T. Tullis). Armorama published a review (HERE) and the profile of the aircraft is included (PROFILE). Profile (and photo) show lighter area under/around the "21" on the fuselage and I strongly believe that the aircraft could have been just wiped clean in that area rather than painted... but again who will know. |
