Hi Smoothie,
Please look at the foto at the top of this page?
If the profileyou've given here is of Joseph Kehrle, than that site must have it wrong.

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

closest i could find to the camouflage pattern is JG1 at Twenthe, note orange/red band was only a late war addition usually on defense of the reich aircraft...

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.

Is this a repaint you did Huub? If so where did you get the 'Tatzelwurm'?
Cees
I'm not that far off then? This is the WoP FW-190 for FS9.
