Re: Nice photo (ebay) late war FW 190
It's been in a fire. And look at the Me-109 in the background. That fire vaporized nearly the whole aircraft.

According to Wings of the black cross no.1 it is Fw190A-2, WNr.513, red 17 somewhere in Germany. There are also additional 5 photos of this a/c.

Hello Rémi,
Unless I am mistaken, your Fw 190 is: Fw 190 A-3, WNr. 130513, St.Kz. DF+GM found abandoned and damaged at Gosselies, Belgium in 1944. Steve Sheflin |

Re: Nice photo (ebay) late war FW 190
Steve is correct to a point. IIRC, the A-2 had open slots. The A-4 was the first to have those moveable, cooling, slots, but many A-3s were refitted with them.

Nice Photo (eBay) Late War Fw 190
Hi guys
I have to agree with John Beaman in that the cooling gills were introduced on the Fw 190 A-4 as that is what all the sources that I have read state. I should also mention that I have seen reference to this particular aircraft being Fw 190 A-3 (W.Nr. 0135 513). Horrido! Leo |

Re: Nice photo (ebay) late war FW 190
Hi Guys, this aircraft has been retrofitted with updated parts including short neck style pilot's armored headrest and solid wheels that were not standard until the A-7.
Cheers, Jerry

Re: Nice photo (ebay) late war FW 190
Is it possible to be more certain which aircraft this was, 0130513 or 0135513?
With regard to 0130513 Smith/Creek give a STKZ GF+DM and not DF+GM! Which is correct? Cheers Stig |
