"It is my great pleasure to introduce an amazing discovery just recently achieved in Germany. An engine cowling from a Fw 190A of II.(Sturm)/Jagdgeschwader 4 has been found underterrain on a dispersal area of a former airfield used by JG 4 on late war months. This brings a completely new look on the JG 4 emblem with not yet know red background! Of course, it brings also several new questions...! I am happy to add, that this unique piece of history is now safely in hands of our old friends from the Virtual JG 4!  "

Very cool!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

That is an awesome find!  I may just ask my daughter for help with a reproduction.

I saved the pics. In the spring I may try to find a piece of German sheet metal (BMW, VW, Audi) that I can cut down & frame with this.

I don’t know if this will get painted or not, but here is what I have done so far… A few of the edges need to be tweaked.

The CAF restored their nose art panels.   Might be worth considering.
