Any help identifying this photo including the age,type,purpose,make/model would be helpful. This appears to be an original photo and not a copy. The plane in the photo appears to be associated with the German airforce; in addition the photo appears to have been taken in a remote area.
The plane is a FW 190 (WWII German fighter). GREAT plane. I can't seem to put my finger on it, but something just doesn't seem right. (Cowl flaps maybe). Maybe I'm just suspicious, but it may be a modern scaled down version. Only a few still in existence.
thks so much - if you think of any more info especially when you think this picture was taken I would appreciate it.
I've spent some time trying to decide on this. The fact that there were so many variations during development make it really difficult. So many things raise an eyebrow, but then, I can't tie it down. Tail wheel design off. Slightly pointed prop. spinner(?). My opinion, still is, this is a slightly scaled down flying copy. Looks great & have had to cover my keyboard with a drool rag. Best I can come up with. That would also explain the unmarked photo-back.
thank you!
