OK it has an ASH 82 as the power plant BUT it has the cowling of a TU-2! I personally think it looks like crap this way. I know the boss is looking into paint jobs for it cause the one it has is horrible and not historically correct. I think it needs to go back to looking like a good ol FW 190 A8/N.................

Are there any BMW-801s available anywhere?

davetheWWIInut · Dec 13, 2014

yes there is , I know of a few that the boss has but i am guessing he is putting it in the FW 190 A8 "Blue 4" from JG 5. It is a real FW 190 A8.

Sounds pretty good, was told it was a good flying machine but there will be major alterations to it!

Nice!

Chunk · Jan 9, 2015

Not to get completely off topic Dave, but what powerplant does the Fw190-A3 in storage have. And if it comes back, will be it be a static or flying display?

davetheWWIInut · Jan 10, 2015

It has a BMW 801 BUT the static or flying decision has not been made and dropped to my level. Im sorry Chunk but I can not accurately answer that.

These are all of us pushing that beast inside the hangar then talking about all the differences this machine has and what will be changed.

Chunk · Jan 10, 2015

No worries Dave. Thanks for all the cool info you provide us here on the boards. If I ever make it back east, the museum is on my list, and I think you deserve an adult beverage on me.

Hope to make it out there as well some time. Hope they fix that 190 though!

davetheWWIInut · Jan 20, 2015

The Fighter Factory guys are the best at what they do, I have every faith that they will fix that 190

I would be the guy off to the side smoking a cigarette!

OK Men got a question, the boss from the Fighter Factory has tasked me with finding a photograph of an FW 190 A9 with a four bladed prop. I honestly don't think one existed, having studied the Luftwaffe for over 20 years now and the FW 190 being my favorite bird. I know there was a C model that had it and the FW 190 V32/U1 had it........ I am stuck on stupid shooting for dumb! I have been through thousands of photographs and ALOT of books. I am about to email FLUGWERK and see what they say.

Chunk · Jan 22, 2015

I do not believe it existed either Dave. The Würger is my favorite bird as well, so I'll pour over my book/photo collection, but I think I would've remembered seeing a picture of that.

davetheWWIInut · Jan 29, 2015

Neither do I......I honestly don't think one existed

vikingBerserker · Jan 29, 2015

I have not had any luck either.
