Fw190D9 Big Tail

[Phlip]

Hi,

I've heard about a color picture of Fw190 D9 W.Nr. 500645, one of the few with a "Big Tail" (Ta152's tail), but I've never seen this picture.

Does anyone know about it, and tell me where I could find the info.

Thanks in advance

Hi Phlip,
I only know this picture of a model for a flight simulator. It is Black 6 of III/JG 2, photographed in Belgium, Spring 1945. Maybe I find the original picture also.

I'd like very much to see the original photo.

Thanks

Thats a great site, but that guy could've chosen a better spot on the pics to put the copyright on.

Might be a bit late telling the guys - this thread is very nearly 8 years old, and neither of the contributors have been around for some time.
