Fieseler Fw190

[markjsheppard]

Evening all.

Happy Easter.

Can anyone confirm that the 581xxx is a Fieseler built example.

Few years ago was helping with a crash site in Northern Germany.

Fieseler?
581xxx range?
Beleieved to be an A-8. Not sure if its an R2.
June 1944 production?

Anything else more on this block?

It's Arado-built Fw 190 F-8.

Thanks Maciej,
Were any of the 581xxx built be Fieseler?
Information I've been given is its Fieseler rather than Arado and no evidence of outer wing ETC's.

Hello Mark

The 681-series Werknummer block of Fw 190 A-8 fighters, including 30-mm MK 108 armed Fw 190 A-8/R2 versions, were built by Fieseler at Kassel from July 1944 through September 1944... perhaps this is the range you are interested in?

Horrido!

This is the prefix of a Late spring 1944 produced Arado FW 190F-8 not Fieseler. May I refer you to Bookies website on FW 190 production number project.

Hello Leo. I don't mean to be disrespectful but informative. The R-2 and R-8 production versions of the FW 190 were in production since the A-7 643401 in February 1944- A-8 683040 in February 1945. Good hunting!
Sincerely.

Morning,

Mark VIII - can you send me a link to the Bookers website. This will be hand to see.

Its definitely a 581xxx A-8 I am trying to find out more on. I will have to look back on the Fieseler connection.

regards,

Mark
