Major Hermann Graf's All Yellow FW 190A-6 ?

[Howard Shenton]

Just joined the forum. My interests are all germam WW2 wepons and aircraft of WW1. Currently have a large number of plastic kits, mostly German. and fly controline model aircraft. Have a Wing Mfg. short kit of a FW190 which i plan to build.

At a plastic scale model contest a few years ago i saw a FW190 painted in all yellow.
Very striking looking but was it accurate?
The mag. article included with the model stated:

Mag: American Aircraft Modeler,Feb 68, page 30
Author: John N. Townsley
Text: Major Hermann Graf FW 190 A-6 leading Geschwader-Richthofen (JG-2 ?) operating in France. Painted in Bright Yellow - Polished and gleaming as a jewel.
Do not have picture and mag. did not have color shots.
Side Markings were <<| + Tail marking was from the Monagram 190 kit Wreath with Knights cross and yellow kill#

No other details as to where the color schem info came from. Has anyone heard of this before? I like the different color variations used by the Luftwaffe especially the desert colors. I have a number of books and articals but none of them referance this color.

Any information available would be appreciated
