What is with this cross? Looks like a decal applied after the camouflage

Unusual for the time period - end 44?

Hakenkreuz is sometime seen on a number of aircraft in 1945. Basically the white and black has been reversed. The factory guy has painted the main cross white and the outline in black - should be the other way around - looks weird but have seen it before.

Swastika is a late war outline only.

regards

Mark

PS Looking on the web it has it as a FW190F8-White-48-WNr587108-Lippstadt-Germany-1945

I am no expert on the D-9, but from what I understand from Deboeck et al.'s Vol. 2 on the Fw 190D markings and camouflage published by JAPO, this photo:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180355825639

actually confirms that "<1-+-" was indeed W.Nr. 600150, as they speculate in said book, but were unable to confirm 100 % (see pages 302-306). Must be good to get that confirmation! Hopefully they will already have seen this interesting photo. If not, someone should notify them.

That "<1-+-" was W.Nr. 600150 was confirmed with very nice photographs in volume 1 of Jerry Crandalls Fw 190D book.
