Fw190D with colored cowl
A nice picture of a Dora with what looks like a two color cowl. Any idea as to identity?

Re: Fw190D with colored cowl
Looks like there are bomb racks under the wing.
ID for ground attack a/c? |

Re: Fw190D with colored cowl
I think it's the standard belly rack (for either a bomb or a belly tank)(ETC 501). I've seen one picture of a FW-190D with wing racks for bomb (ETC 71) but when i play with the contrast only the belly rack is visible.

Re: Fw190D with colored cowl
There is something out under the wing besides the ETC 501 under the fuselage.
This is a model of an F-9 for comparison http://modelingmadness.com/scott/axi...190/190f9p.htm |

Re: Fw190D with colored cowl
Could be a yellow cowling stripe indicating an SG Geschwader. Otherwise the things under the wings could be R4M rocket behalter... (in a hurry: leaving for holiday now, sorry not to be more precise)...

Re: Fw190D with colored cowl
From the other known pictures of this plane in JaPo and Eagle Editions books, it seems to be a regular Fw 190D-9 built by Mimetall, no two color cowl, no bomb racks, no R4M rockets. (A few D-9s by Fieseler had bomb racks under the wings).
The plane is possibly from I. /JG 6. Last edited by Micke D; 16th July 2014 at 22:04. |

Re: Fw190D with colored cowl
Micke D is correct. Cowlings were fabricated and painted elsewhere and sent to a central assembly point, hence the variation in cowling painting.
