Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

Here are the pictures of my recently finished Fw 190Aa3 with the markings of TuAF.

Base kit is Hasegawa Fw 190 A5. I have used Montex A3 conversion set to backdate

(Note that Aa3 is the export version of A3 and have not wing root guns.)

Seat replaced with AML resin seat.

Exhausts: Quickboost

Paints: Gunze Sangyo acrylics.

Happy modelling

didn't know that the "würger" flew in turkish markings............................

Turkey was received 72 Fw 190Aa3 and the first flight was made on July 1943. They remained in service until the end of 1947.

The Turkish Aa3 armaments was:

2 units 20mm cannons and 2 units 7.9nmm MG17.

Also there was no FuG 25 IFF device in the radio equipment.

We can say that Turkey is the only country that used Fw 190Aa3 and Spitfire Mk.V together in the same squadron

Interesting.  I like the mixture of camouflages.  I assume the original plane was a "bitsa"??

Cheers,

Enormous efforts were devoted in order to keep these aircrafts operational.

Some 190s were painted in RAF colours due to stock availability during their service period. And this aircraft had a tail from another one in RAF colors. And also note that the cowling colors are different, probably from another 190 with different colors like RLM 71/02/65.

Here is the original picture of number "37" after a crash landing.

Yes interesting but this is the fact.

On the other hand it should not ignore Germany s efforts to bring Turkey to its side during these years.
