I think this early war Fw 190 (A-2/3) is the very same as seen in Luftwaffe im Focus No. 8 page 47, lower photo. That image is of much higher quality but being a close-up it only shows the latter part of the code (+BG) and a numeral "3" which may have been green, red or blue! The numeral is obscured in this full-view image.

The camouflage and overpainted original Stammkennzeichen (see the uniformly coloured patches behind and in front of the Balkenkreuz) are the same on both photos. Even the mottling matches!

Regards,

Kjetil

Hi Kuba and Falcon,

Any chance to have a scan of the other G-10 photo from Monogram Close-Up?

Thanks in advance

Marc

Dear Batura,
Thanks so much, you made my day!

Harold, Falcon, Kuba,
Similarities of rubbish against the left wheel and broken antenna are indeed a good pointer for the same plane.

Thanks for the lead

Marc

Tahiti,

I was baffled by this Type name. Got my Google working and accessed to this photo of an intact Gotha und Kalkert 430, from this site:

http://www.luft46.com/gotha/gop50.html

First time I hear of the type, thanks!

Marc

Hello,

Please, nothing about the emblem of the FW-190 S-8 ?

Best regards,
