This file contains alternative textures for the payware Classics Hangar FW190A-6 which can be found in the late variants package. To use these textures you should have a legal version from this package. The textures depict the FW190A-6 flown by Gruppenkommandeur Major Gerhard Homuth of I./JG54, August 1943. Historical tail marking are included. As I was not able to find any pictures of the real aircraft, this livery should be regarded a "best guess".
On 29 July 1943 the JG27 veteran Gerhard Homuth was appointed as "Gruppenkommandeur" of I./JG53 based at the Eastern front. On 2 August 1943, on one of his first combat missions, Homuth was engaged in a 20 minute dogfight with Russian fighters. He finally managed to shoot down an Airacobra fighter but failed to return from the mission in Fw 190 A-6 (W.Nr. 550 436) “<< +”. He has remained missing ever since. Gerhard Homuth was credited with 63 victories in approximately 450 missions. He recorded two victories over the Eastern front.

This repaint is based on the excellent paint kit by Alessandro Biaggi, which is included in the Classics Hangar FW190A late variants package.
I hope you enjoy flying this repaint as much I did making it.
