Can someone help me to a profile of the ...

is this it?
fw190a6black8td_1.jpg
 
no profile i found is wrong, Kehrle was JG1, let me check my books, as i was working on an Fw190 profile a while back....
 
Cees,

I went through quite some books, but I'm a afraid I didn't find a profile from this particular aircraft.

Most units got re-equipped when they came to Katwijk. Therefore the aircraft was most probably quite new and finished in the standard RLM 74/75/76 scheme.

As it belonged to 5/JG1 the "Tatzelwurm" was red and the black 8 was outlined with a thin white line.

On this site you can find a profile from Max Bucholtz FW190 A-2 which was from the same period, same unit and stationed on the same location. In fact a picture form this particular aircraft can be found on the "Katwijk in Oorlog" site as well! (Put you mouse pointer on Germany and select Focke-Wulf FW190 A2).

I hope this helps,
Huub
 
De Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-2 van Staffelkapitän Oberleutnant Max Buchholz. Except for the big bird on the fuselage the 'Schwarzen 8' from Unteroffizier Josef Kehrle of 5./JG1 must have looked quite similar. The model in the screenie is the Classics Hangar FW190 A-2 for FSX.

Cheers,
Huub

hmm looks as though the darker topside colour ends exactly where the canopy does.... wish they'd taken more photos back in the 40's :icon_lol:

Is this a repaint you did Huub? If so where did you get the 'Tatzelwurm'?

Nice Cees! I see you found your "Tatzelwurm". That's a very nice thing from Allesandro Biaggi's profile site. When you move your mouse over the marking they pop-up an you can save them by right-clicking them with your mouse.

Cheers,
Huub
