The subject of this build will be one of the SchlangenSchwarm 'Snake marked' Fw190's of Jagdgruppe 10.

The aircraft was an AGO built Fw190A-8, W. Nr.733700, Black 6 flown by Unteroffizier Gunter Pape of 3/JGr.10 in the later part of 1944 and early 1945 before being killed in action flying an Fw190D-9 in April 1945. It is adorned with the colourful Snake marking along the length of the fuselage.

Jerry Crandall quotes that Uffz. Pape mentions in his diary that he flew Black 6 mounted with 2cm Mortars.

Great choice... man, that pilot looks so young. This will be a great reference for me as I will be building a 1/32 Hase Dora later!
 
Good one Wayne, and I was about to state exactly the same regarding the pilot - he looks like he should still be at school !
BTW, if you don't have any mortar tubes, I have a number spare, complete with separate Werfer granate and sway braces, if you need them.
