FW 190 Werk Nummer
Hello, Happy new year to all -
I have a question. Peter is working on a RC Fockewulf and is looking for the right pilot it belonged to. The werk nummer that Kyosho is putting out on the tail of this plane is 960231. I have added a picture to help with the ID - who did this one belong to? Or was it no-one, so he can just make into Pips Priller's plane? Many thanks in advance.

Re: FW 190 Werk Nummer
I could not find this plane in my references.
The paint scheme is a FW190A-3 WN 2181 8./JG2 Fall 1942 Theville France |

Tell that to the Kyosho company, Remi. I did not create this aircraft. It is a nitro-fuel powered, radio-controlled aircraft at 1/8 scale. My husband, Peter, builds and flies these aircraft (he already has Berthold's 1/5 scale Fokker DVII in the hangar in the house) so he wanted me to see if the WkN that the company put on the tail was just a random BS number. Thank you, Steve190 for confirming that for us - I looked it up where I could after a short google search, and I could not find anything either. So it looks like Peter has some modification to do, which is fine - he has already planned some mods for this a/c. I believe we will be doing Pips Priller's plane, since I have a color picture of him and it's always my job to paint the pilot figurine.

Re: FW 190 Werk Nummer
Hello Cori,
The least you can say is that the Kyosho company realy mixed things up! As already written by 'steven190', its a 190A-3 belonging to JG 2 'Richthofen'. Priller flew with JG 26 'Schlageter'. Priller used a couple of 190 coded black 13, but these where A-6, A-8 variants of the 190. And the style of the black 13 was a sligthly different. The given s/n tells us that's indeed a 190A-8, build by Norddeutsche Dornier in Wismar between october & november 1944. I have some b/w photos of Priller's Fw (from a book) and some color side profiles. So if you are interested send me a pm. Greetz, Dirk |

Re: FW 190 Werk Nummer
Gott did they ever, Dirk!
I don't know what Peter wants to do with the a/C now - perhaps an entirely different paintjob - but that takes time and ultrakote. It's only up to me to paint the pilot - I would have liked to have done Oesau (heh) but Priller will do as well - again, it's all up to Peter. I will definitely send you a PM if I need any more help with profiles, thank you very much, and thank you to everyone else who helped me with this small problem!
