Eduard 1/48 Royal Class Fw 190A-8/R2.....?

[B-17engineer]

It's an A-2 .... hope it helps. It was flown by, OFw Josef 'Sepp' Heinzeller

 

[Wayne Little]

Some food for thought Jan, but what I really mean't was pictures, there are a few around of A-8's but R2's? maybe Erich might confirm the existance of some without showing us, maybe?

Can always hope son.... Otherwise you can always, in one way or another, work your way around the lack of pics, always an interesting discussion! 8)

True enough!

yes black 13 of 11. Sturm/JG 3 you probably can find a profile done by memeber Falkeeins from our old Sturmgruppen web-site still found in inklings on the cyberspace web.

the pic is somewhere on this site with a tarp over it so you really cannot see the full arms contingent on it. viewed after the 7-7-44 kills over B-24's where the Sturmgruppe of JG 3 slaughter manyUS bombers and this was the first test of a combined Gefechtsverband of JG 3 and JG 300 SturmFw's with high cover of Bf 109G-6's of I./JG 300 involved

 

[Lucky13]

Much obliged Erich!

Found the Eagle Editions decals and the pic in post #40 and #43, I think it was...

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok Jan, might have a candidate? Doesnt show enough to be certain but a strong contender for an A-8/R2...

A bit more on Karl Hagemann..

Shot down in "Black 13" with wounds on 19 December, 1944 by Wispenthal. Despite his wounds, he managed to bail safely. His two known victories, both P-47's on 19 December, 1944, no location given....




Edit: Any idea what the Fw 190 of LT Rudolf "Rudi" Rademacher of 1/Erg/JG-1 (8/44) aka JGr-Nord, might have looked like as in camouflage? His was a, as you can see, a Fw 190A-8 Werk# 350193 and "White 13".

 

[Wayne Little]

190's carried a fairly uniform pattern, the bigger problem would be the style of the "13" used?

 

[Lucky13]

True... But if you have a round style of numbering on one geschwader machine, would it be the same on, in this case the "13", or could it vary from one machine to another?

It doesn't bode well for me that we are searching for almost the same thing.
I figured if anybody would know about it would be you.
