 Markings
Stab aircraft of the III. Group of SG 10, W.Nr. 205998 - Salzburg, May 1945
References / profiles
The picture came from an unknown collection and had not been published before.
Additional informations
The pictured aircraft was built between October and November at Focke Wulf,
Cottbus. Noticeable are the differences to the standard A-9 series. First
there is no “blown” canopy and second there is no wooden propeller
but the VDM propeller. The power plant and the propeller are possibly from
another aircraft. There are noticeable differences between the paint of
the aircraft near the engine and the camouflage of the rest of the aircraft.
The camouflage could have looked as follows: Fuselage RLM 75/83/76 whereby
the RLM 76 was the gray –green version. The previous markings were
over painted with RLM 81. The separation between 75/83 and 76 was additionally
emphasized. Upper surfaces were RLM 75/83. We can assume that since this
aircraft was built towards the end of the war the under sides were only
partially painted. The yellow ring around the nose of the aircraft assigns
it to Luftflotte 4.
Since at the time only Schlachtgeschwader 10 had a III. Group we can assume
that this aircraft belonged to the Stabsschwarm of the III. Group of this
Geschwader. The aircraft was captured by American troops in Salzburg during
May of 1945. |

1978 I was born in Vienna
and I am working as technical employee in an architect's office.
I am building plastic models since I am 12. It started with
a F-16 Fighting Falcon in 1/32, which was followed by a few
cars and trucks. A Heinkel He111 H-6 in 1/72 brood my interest
for the German Luftwaffe. Since 2001 I am creating color profiles
also.
Some of them have been already published in relevant magazines
and books. The motto for building models and drawing profiles
is the same: Learning by Doing. To practise my passion it is
required to collect the necessary documentation, an expensive,
but interesting hobby, especially when I can obtain rare second
hand aviation antiquars. |
