Cowling doesn't look right; I don't recall bumps and a hood scoop on "fleet" fw190s. What's the story wlawr?
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.
PDid 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.
It's a Flugwerk replica

According to Wikipedia, The Philippine Mars has been ready to go to P-Cola since 2012....Philippine Mars set for the trip to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, looks sharp in her WW2 colors

That is so utterly cool.
I guess NMNA has some room on their ramp now that they've moved the P5M indoors.
