FW190, what model?

[JCH]

Found this pretty poor picture of a well cannablized 190 in my wife's grandfathers photo album. Any thought on what model it may be? Anyone have or know of a better picture of this plane?

Does the photo say where/when it is taken?. Or is it known what unit he was in?

Not much help, but the tall antenna on the tail indicates it's an A-4 or later.

Judging by the armament , protruding wing roots at the engine mount and the seen Pitot tube it can be A-5. IMHO it is not A-8.

No, but I'll go through the album and see if I can find any pictures with visible unit patches

Well any clues realley. You will be suprised what a bit of info can reveal.

The acces doors for the radio compartment indicate A-5 or later. Too bad the person that is on the photo blocks the view to the MG installation.

Not sure if I'm seeing a piece of an inner landing gear door behind the hanging tarp. That would be a give-away for an A-5.
