Cowling doesn't look right; I don't recall bumps and a hood scoop on "fleet" fw190s. What's the story wlawr?I like the Privateer and the Harpoon........but the 190 butcher bird has to be a home build.
No, I get the difference between an FW-190 with a BMW 801(FW-190a/f) radial motor and one with an inline jumo 213 (FW-190d/ta-152). But the bird pictured above is neither of those. Here's a pic of NASM's FW-190F, note that it's cowling doesn't have the bumps (maybe cylinder heads?) and the scoop in front of the forward canopy.FW-190A with a big radial engine. Later replaced by the FW-190D with a longer nose to fit a big 12 cylinder engine.
Did some more reading; looks like all but one FW-190 flying today are reproductions that use a Chinese motor. I assume the different plumbing accounts for the visual deltas.I dunno man, ya got me.
