Well not exactly as it is a rebuild of the Flug Werk FW 190 A8/N which ditched in the Mediterranean harbor of Toulon/France.

 

Dear Friends of SANDY AIR!

We proudly present our recently completed FW 190 D9 WNr. 400616, formerly flown by Uffz. Koch of the famous JG 54 ???

1.2 million for a static aircraft... *sigh*

 

And to think, about 700 FW 190D's (9,11,12s and 13s) existed.... its a shame that more didn't survive. After all the Dora was the best of the Fw 190's.

Yeah I rate the Fw 190 Dora's high on the list, probably number two behind the Ta-152.

This video always reminds me of a quote from "German aces of the Russian front":

 

"The width of the undercarriage track also proved a distinct boon to

Eastern Front flyers. Where the Bf 109 skittered perilously, the Fw 190

ploughed its way splay-legged and tail-down through the worst surfaces

the Soviet winter could throw at it - snow, slush, rain or mud - 'like a

bullfrog on water skis. :salute:
