nmayhew Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi I saw Roger posted here recently but cannot find the post or his member ID Mods can you help please? My question is about a Fw190 A-8 in his book (the one also included in the decals) coded yellow 7, with yellow / white / yellow RV band... The description says that this A-8 had its outer wing armament removed... So would the underwing panels have been replaced with ‘blanked off' ones from a F-8, or would they have been ‘normal' MG151 ejection chutes, but just the compartment was empty?

dodgem37 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I would hazard the guess that the guns were removed with the panels left in place. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 As a mod, I more often than not, have no idea what a members real name is, so can't help in that regard. What's the name/publisher of the specific book you're referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His new forum handle is in fact VintageEagle, so you could find him and PM him that way if he doesn't see this thread. Kev LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageEagle Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hi Nick, Thank you for remembering me and you question about the wing panel. I will check my references once home, but would guess for now that the factory delivered panel was left in place. Will get back to you once I have more information.
