Re: Fw190
Dear Mark,
as well as Marc-André I appreciate such a great find. Thanks a lot for this. Nonetheless I am somehow confused about that kite's history You noted. I am active member here and also at lostaircraft.com which I highly recomment as a useful database open to everybody without any fees or charges. For that particular Fw 190 D-9 You and other members from here may cross-check the entry at http://www.lostaircraft.com/database...iewentry&e=952 At this time I wonder how to restore a complete D-9 out of a 99% damage... "Cheerio" and thanks again Norbert P.S.: Curious enough to see in which hands this restoration will turn

Re: Fw190
Norbert,
Only passing on the information so no idea where the W.Nr came from, where the remains were recovered from and when etc. Also seems your loss with JG2 differs from there loss of JG54. Nice site. regards Mark |

Re: Fw190
100% this is a Flugwerk Airframe...not original. 100% Reproduction. It was bought as a Flugwerk reproduction BY Sandy Air. They probably found a "piece" of the original D9 to claim the werk (or are making a completely false claim).
Sadly Air is known as one of the most dishonest restoration companies around...so I would not put too much faith into what they wrote. Mike |

Re: Fw190
Mike
It isn't a Flug Werk airframe, they only made three Doras and all are accounted for. Obviously it is 90% new build, but a nice job in anycase. |

Re: Fw190
The fuselage and tail are 100% flugwerk Fw190A series. Most likely part of the wing structure is also Flugwerk.
I had photos of this bird back in January, and can confirm without a doubt that the fuealage and tail are Flugwerk. This is due to errors made by Flugwerk during production, that are common on all models (and seen in the photos). The angle of the antenna mast on the tail, for example. The rest was added (cowling, engine, etc.) to make it look D9. 100% started as a Flugwerk A model. |

Re: Fw190
Hi Guys,
This is a Flugwerk made, as reported by Mike. See "Le Fanatique de l'Aviation" for détails. Regards, Franck. |
