Actually the Fw190A is a few inches shorter than a Bf109, but has a few inches greater wingspan.

I just dont know why its off.


In side profile the first few inches of the cowl look just like an la7, that even curv that meets a cylinder main cowl, the real FW is a more complex shape.

It still looks damn sexy - should serve as a good paradigm for other warbird companies since the fleet is getting old and fatigue life would be an issue with keeping others in the air.

Anyone know the diameters of the BMW 801 and the ASh-82?

If the 82 is slightly larger, might explain the nose shape.

The nose seems to be a bit shorter on the Flugwek 190. Perhaps the new engine is heavier than the BMW and needs to be placed closer to the centre of lift for balance. Also the gun bulges now covers the oil cooler, so that's probably why they are enlarged a bit.

The oil cooler is not in the nose ring any more?

Maybe the a/c in the old pic is G or F -6? That would explain the smallish cowling bulges. IMO the MG131 bulges are a quite pronounced difference between A6 and A7 and that is not very evident in that pic.

I don't know what kind of cowling they used for G models which lacked the MG armament. Was it normal MG171 cowling with gun ports faired shut, or did it depend of what variant the G conversion was made of?

The plane is an F8 and the bulges are for MG131.  As you can see in the picture its sort of a myth that the MG131 bulges were huge bulbous things.

Changing the power plant to a completely different engine without making visible changes is rather difficult.
