This FW190 was intended to become a Mosquito hunter.
In November 1943 there was some concern in cetain Luftwaffe circles that the speed of the Ju88 C-6 and Ju88 R01 was insufficient to combat the civil Mosquitoes which were flying between Scotland and Sweden. The Staffelkapitän of 10./NJG3, Oblt. Hans-Hermann Müller. whose Staffel was then based at Aalborg-West in Denmark, decided to employ the FW190. But an appeal for a loan of such an aircraft from a neighbouring unit 10./JG11 at Aalborg East was refused. Müller then appealed to 2.Jagddivision and was provided with one FW190 A-5 which was assigned the code D5+XV. IN December, 10./JG11 was ordered to loan Müller two FW190 A-4s, which were subsequently coded D5+YV and D5+ZV and while in charge of 10./NJG3 the FW190 detachment was known as NachtjagdKommando 190. However trials with the single-seat FW190s did not result in the expected successes and the A-4s were returned to JG11 in February. The A-5 was also eventually returned to 2.Jagddivision in March.
This repaint should be available soon.
