This is unfortunately I can find at this time. I believe Ospreys's Fw 190 Aces of Eastern Front has more info about Kittel and his plane.
Actual screenshot would be nice! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

NATEDOG,
is Kittel's mount the one shown on Osprey: FW Aces of the Eastern Front?
-
Jeng, looks like the Stealth plane of WWII, only prettier (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

gatt: The one of the cover of the that book is Walter Nowotny's FW190A-4
(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Natedog: Is the A-5 looking something like plate 39 in the above mentioned book?
Otto Kittel KIA 14 feb 1945
267 confirmed kills all on Eastern Front
Achived less then 40 kills flying Bf109's and the rest with the FW190A

Guys
Nate sent me a BMP of the a5..
It is not in the osprey book, I found it in my combat AC of ww2 book. If you have that book there is a fold out with an A5, d9 and ta152 on it the a5 is ours. I have permision to post the picture and I will as soon as I get a chance.
Has anybody else noticed that most if not all of the colour plates of A6s in the Osprey East front 190 book have mgffs in the outboard wing position? Were they really A5s or did they screw up the art work?
-
Yeah I've noticed that to Pongo.
Also if all the paintjobs of those plates are accurate is quite questionable after what I've heard. :/
But the book is a nice read at least and have many fine photos (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
It might be a typo where it should read A-5 of those that say A-6 but have MG/FF's in the outer position, or the artist just used the wrong linedrawing/rawplate by misstake when he started all those aircrafts.
Pretty simple misstake by a reknown artist/author like John Weal thou...
Yes please post the A-5 pic soon, i'll just run over here all the time to check otherwise! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) :lol
