Closing the FW190 Anton

[pkassak]

some guy send me this some time ago. Do not remember who and when but it is from Fw 190...color reference...

Splendid, Jesters!

Thanks both, interesting shot you have there, do you have any more?

2 more, sadly I was working late and closed the template before saving on the White 3, shame really.

Does that remark on white 3 should excuse lack of second camo color? I assume there is one green (?) missing. As it is a winter coat, it was usually applied on standard (at JG 54 not so standard) camo scheme.
There is a nice article on JG54 wild colours used on Fw 190s in Czech REVI magazine No.79

Jesters,

Great work! 4+I looks REALLY nice!

Could you tell me where you found your source material for the rudder markings (Knight's Cross and kills)? I have not been able to find a good website or book about them.

Thank You!

I can't speak for Jester but there's a book just about rudder markings-

Amazon.com: Luftwaffe Rudder Markings, 1936-1945 (Schiffer Military History) (9780887403378): Karl Ries, Ernst Obermaier: Books

Thank you, Blowhard!

Hmm, the latest discussion made me to open Lorants and Frappes excellent book on Fw 190 "Le Fw 190" and on pages 156-157 are three clear and detailed shots of this 4+I Wnr 746 a/c of Siegfried Schnell...
BUT photo on page 156 showing the right side of the Fw fuselage and partially nose shows, that the eagle was NOT present prior the esxausts. (on the nose). And it also shows Cock head emblem on the nose on right side - May be assume it was the si,milar on the left side shown on profile ?...
check six

[pkassak]

OK have to edit my previous post. I was fatser in writing then checking myself
seems that plane was on left side different that on right side

and few more on the rudder...but photos I mentioned in LOrnats boom are the best quality of these...

You have a great eye, pkassak!
