Fw 190 A-2 Wk Nr 0318
Does anyone have a fate for this ac? Photos show it sporting 6 kill markings on the rudder and an assumption it was from 3./JG 2

I always thought the two sub-versions were produced at the same time, either as A-2 or A-3, and if actually modified did the aircraft in such a case really get a new plaque? Cheers Stig |

Thanks for this. Looking at the photo it appears to be more Scandinavian in the background. 25% damage and then repaired and converted to A-3 spec in 4 months? Kennzeichen appears to be black (matching spinner) but no chance of working out what it is

Re: Fw 190 A-2 Wk Nr 0318
May be just a clerical error. Otherwise, aside from, perhaps, the case of engine spare parts delivery (not sure how much did the BMW 801 C differ from the D variant and whether it needed different lubricants, etc.), was this really important? The fuel type needed for each sub-variant appears to be the same.
