Fw-190 A-8 "Blue 8"

[Ikerus]

I have found a side view of this color scheme, but cant find a top view so I make the camo right for a R/C model airplane

 

[Ikerus]

It could be any of the Blue numbers, I just need a top view

thank you

 

[Wurger]

Have you found the upper surfaces painting scheme of the Wurger yet?

 

[Ikerus]

I havent, but I am checking the other info that was presented to me

 

[Ikerus]

Wurger, do you know where I can find the information I am looking for?

 

[Wurger]

You can find the info in many books about Fw190A of course. However I haven't seen any top view of the particular Wurger from 9./JG5 Eismeer.But according to a few books it is almost sure that the Fw190 was painted with the standard camo scheme RLM74/75/76. In the pic of the Fw190A there are seen areas of overpainted markings of the previous markings ( I think of 13/JG5 ), especially of IV.Gruppe wavy band.It is likely that for that was used RLM75.But it is possible that there was used RLM83 as well.But there is no proof of that rather.As the plane wore the standard camo scheme here you are a sketched pattern of the kind of camo with marked colours for it.Also I have found a pic of the crate but it is not of a good quality.

I have to admit, the blue looks pretty sharp

 

[Ikerus]

I owe you a lot Wurger

I think that the blue colour was much pale and slightly darker in reality.

I owe you a lot Wurger

Gald I helped a little bit.

 

[Ikerus]

By any chance Wurger, can you find pilot info for Blue 8?

 

[Wurger]

I'm afraid I'm not able to help you with it. All I have found with the link below is that the Fw190A8 was flown by Uffz. Dietrich. But nothing much.

Don't know if it helps at all but my copy of Luftwaffe Code Markings by Barry C Rosch (Schiffer books) places the photo at Herdla Norway in March '45. The planes are stated to be from Gruppe IV of JG5.
