Hawker Sea Fury

Could you say where you read about the cooling drag of the Ta 152 being 80% of the Fw 190A's?

Here: table.
Under the 'Widerstandsantelile' ('drag distribution', roughly) group, item 'Kühlung'. For level flight it is stated as 0.0073 m^2 for the Fw 190A8 and A9, and 0.00610 m^2 for the Ta-152C, E and H. Fuselage drag was also higher for the 190As than for the Ta-152 or 190Ds.

Thanks This is very informative. Browsing through the chart I found a lot of questions of the "What is...?" kind.
But the first thing I noticed is at the 'Kühlung' row that the figure for the Fw 190Ds is 0.00390 sqm which means it only has 53.4 % cooling drag of the Fw 190A and 63.9 % of the Ta 152's.
I knew that the liquid-cooled radiator configuration was less draggy but wouldn't expect it to be that much.

I wonder how the cooling flaps when opened affected this advantage of the Dora/152?

You have cooling drag figures of the other major WW2 fighters to compare?

I think they're actually target tugs, for use with the (then) West German Luftwaffe, and painted red overall.

Yep .. the foreground one is registered as D-CAMI while the background one D-CATA. Both of them have the small German flag marking on the fins.
