Re: Fw190 image

Yes, it's an Fw 190F-8/R1 or -9/R1 of either 6./SG10 (Yellow 2+-) or Stab.II./SG10 (Green 2+-) - I can't decide which - and was photographed at Neubiberg. There's several other views of this aircraft, I seem to recall some of them are published in the AJ Press Fw 190A,F,G work,

Cheers,
Chris

Re: Fw190 image

Was there any new info available on this machine in last few years?
Is the unit and color of the markings known "for sure" by now?

Re: Fw190 image

Hello Pilot,

This is an expected poor reproduction of the well-known and habitually-purloined photograph taken by my late friend, Merle C. Olmsted, post-war at Neubiberg.

As suggested above, the aircraft in question is Ar-War-built Fw 190 F-8/R1 (WNr. 586875) 2+ - yellow/or green, outlined black, probably last with II./SG10.

The color of its rudder is still an open question; is its darker gray value versus its yellow cowl band the result of being cocked to one side, or is it another color?

Regarding its camouflage colors, I have no reason to believe that it is in anything but 74/75/76.

Respectfully,

Steve Sheflin

Re: Fw190 image
