Is there a way to determine camouflage and style of numerals from the same unit?
I imagine that all Fw 190's, in this case the Doras weren't all built by Focke Wulf, right, were they numbered at the unit, or?
Can you use the Wk. Nr. to decide how they were camouflaged etc.?

As in this case, I have the 'late' D-9, Yellow 15 from II./JG301 with Wk. Nr. 500666 (where does the 'late' Dora's start btw?), with my Eduard kit, could one assume that Yellow 13 with Wk. Nr. 210919 but from 7./JG301, had the same style in numerals as this Yellow 15?
Also, when it come to the camouflage etc., should one go with Black 1, but from IV./JG26, with Wk. Nr. 210003 which is closer in series? I have also noted, with these Eduard kits, that there are four different underwing styles of the....eeermmm...camouflage, how do you get the right one? Will put some pics up tomorrow, to show you what I mean..
