Tolga ULGUR Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hi What was the camouflage color of FW-190A3..? I know that it was classical 75/74/76. Were there different versions like 71/02/65 or 70/71/65.? I heard some rumours that Arado built A3s have different schemes. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Jennings Heilig said: By the time the A-3 came long, 74/75/76 was the standard. There is some thought that some very early A-0 and A-1 were completed in 70/02, but I have not seen any convincing evidence of that. 70/71 was long gone by that time as a fighter scheme. Thanks a lot Jennings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBrown Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Here is a photo of Faber's A-3 taken after it landed in error at RAF Pembrey, 23 June 1942... The RAF Intelligence Report described the colors as dark green, light olive green and pale blue, consistent with 71/02/65. Here is a photo of a piece of the port side fuselage piece of an A-2. The item was recovered from a crash site and is in the possession of Jerry Crandall. According to Crandall, the colors are RLM 02 and RLM 71 on the outside and the inside is RLM 66.

Tolga ULGUR Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks to all for their contributions The reason for asking this question is the modeling of Turkish 190Aa3s with different camouflages. There are two different schemes in turkish 190Aa3 due to turkish modellers choice. Standart 75/74/76 And 71/02/65 Turkey received all of FW 190Aa3 in 1943. I couldn't make sense of the different colors of the planes taken in the same year. That s why I have mentioned different production facilities.

RBrown Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Turkey received 72 Fw 190Aa-3 aircraft which were constructed between August 1942 and June 1943. Certainly by August of 1942 the use of 74/75/76 schemes would have been standardized for several months. So it is almost a certainty that these aircraft were received in the mid war gray scheme. williamj, Kais, Lothar and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Tolga, Is there any update about the Turkish A-3s buried at Kayseri airfield? https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/strange-history-50-german-focke-wulf-fw-190-fighters-were-buried-turkey-and-are-still It is a fascinating story, but there is no evidence of findings: is there an excavation/restoration project in place? Maybe there might be some recent news on local media. Thx for letting us know! Stefano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was true it will be very exciting and sensational By the way, I am preparing myself to TuAF Fw 190Aa3 project.
