Hey guys,

Was just going through photos of when I went away down south, and I came across this photo. I've gone as far as saying it could be a Focke Wolf 109. Not too sure though. Anybody have the registration of it and some more info? Is it an original etc?

Cheers, Tommo

It's a Flugwerk 190 which is basically a new-build full-scale FW-190 which is true to the original in most respects but with a few differences, in particular the engine which is a Russian unit. About as close to an original as you can get without actually having an original.

Same bloke owns the Sopwith Pup "PEGGY", a Fokker E.V replica underway and former AFC Spitfire XIV NH799. Quite the collection!

ZK-RFR 990001 Focke Wulf Fw190 A8/N was built by Claus Collings and the late Hans Wildmoser under the banner Flug Werk several were built and are a reproduction. ZK-RFR is owned by Murray Miers and is part of his Chariots of Fire collection based here at Omaka as stated above.









Some time back I was luck enough to get a closeup and personal with the office



I have also created a paint for the Classic Hanger FSX model of this aircraft



Just had to add this one for good measure.
