| Erich is right, the paintings showing the Ta-152H pounding US bombers merely depicts what it 'should've' done, and would've also undoubtedly been good at. (Esp. with a DB603)
Btw, I would like to add that the painting of Reschke's Green 4 is pretty original as-well.

| Well you've got those two 13mm's over the engine, a clear sign its a Dora. And secondly the cockpit is further ahead, again a clear sign its a Dora. But you might be right about the tail and its shape, but even some Dora's had this tail design(Below), so its definitely a Dora

| In any case its an animated picture, so it could be virtually anything  But I'd say its a Dora though.

| Yep just checked if it could be Ta-152C, but its Supercharger intake sits on the wrong side so its definitely a Dora...

Some more Dora paintings, enjoy

great avatar !
of note many of the JV 44 pilots never knew they had a cover protection staffel.
the Würger staffel even with the birghtly covered camo and photos via books was a strange and nullified staffel, possibly 1 P-47 kill and it was a random find at that.
