Kurt Tank's plane with really long wings and a big arsed prop hanging on the front of it.
-
FW-190C?
-
Ta153
-
Yup. Looks like a 153.
-
Fw190 V32/U1, W.Nr. 0057, with a DB603G engine and long span wing. It also had the extra broad tail fin. Later it became the Fw190V32/U2
code is GH+KV
-
U2 ... yeah .. that's my second guess. Painted to look German.
-
something overly perked
-
Hmmm, My source states it is FW190V18.
-
I just wanna know where they got their supply of Tiffie props from. ;)
-
afaik, the V-18 when fitted with the DB engine did not have long wings. It was coded CF+OY, W.Nr. 0040. One version of the V-18 was the nicknamed the 'Kangaroo' (/U1, code GH+KO). The last version (/U2) was a prototype for the Ta152H, so should have a Jumo engine. None had a fuselage stretch.
Arlo that is a 'fat' VDM prop.;)
-
And a pretty one it is. Kinda like a sexier version of the props we had on our P-3s. Well ... our props looked kinda like aluminum ceiling fans, actually. :p
-
my source say, second prototype, non armed FW190C V 18 on configuration U1 with DB 603A, ( first prototype run onDB603G)
but exctly this second have diferent Hirth turbocompresor , so it maybe is the real first prototype 190C V 18 series anyway only 6 of them and diference was the engine and turbocompresor configuration
-
This is why I generaly avoid doing prototypes for name this, you may well be right minus, not all refrences sources are corect all the time:)
-
Brady, besides your 'guess what' pic, there is another photo of the a/c in profile. The code on the a/c is GH+KV. One can clearly see the fuselage insert to lengthen the fuselage which was not on the V18s.
The tail has the spike radio antenna attachment point on the fin. The V18 had the old style attachement point as seen on the A-1, -2, -3
-
precisely 6 of total 190C 1 with DB603G
5 with DB 603 A
one of them named like FW190 A-O modified ( which one was it ? )
comon mark on them , Non armed
also the quad propeler is not the 1 and 2 the y have more fine blades
second (Kangoroo ) got presurised copkit
-
Well it does look like my source was in eror minus:)
-
Sorry minus, it is not a V18.
Brady if you would like a scan of the second photo of the V32, I can send it to you, so you can post it.
-
Shure:)
-
cant find any other reference on any 190 who used Hirth compresor , jsut the 190 C and all 190 C have the V 18
-
ta 153 1 prototype FW 190 V 32 produced from the 152 H
152 H 3 prototypes 190 s modified , named like 190 v 29, 190 v30 190 v 32 povered be jumo 213 E-1
