Captured Fw190 photo
Hello! Please help to identify this Fw190 variant. To me this plane looks like D-9, is this correct?
What is designation of the horizontal bar highlighted by red circle?

Thanks in advance!




Best regards,
Alexander

The bar means the II Gruppe of the assigned Geschwader, at this stage of the war the II Gruppe included 5, 6, 7 and 8 Stafflen.

Re: Captured Fw190 photo
Hi John,

Could be. The national markings indicate a machine from the 600XXX werknummer series. Need to see if this image could be matched with photos of other similar kites.

Cheers,

David

Re: Captured Fw190 photo
The WNr is not known to me - neither from the JaPo nor from the Crandall publications. Is it 601095?

Regards

Roland

Re: Captured Fw190 photo
To RolandF - According to Japo is WNr.600422 which comparing to known photos dont match. WNr.looks to be 601090 - combination of ebay photo http://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1037984 and photo from Jerry Crandall Dora vol.1. p.258.

John, Tomas

I think tou are right on the spot for identification of this plane. Not only the mottle camoufalge seems to match, even the bright spot under the forward windshield is present.

Fabulous picture...
