[Request] Captured Fw-190F-8's

[David_4555]

Hello! I'd like to request skins for the Fw-190A-8/F-8 captured by Romanian forces after the August 23rd 1944 coup. I've found some details in the "Romanian Fighter Colours 1941-45" book. I think they are quite interesting. I hope you agree ?. Thank you for your time.

Romanians just like the Germans (at times) would fly F8 series aircraft with all bomb racks, ETC racks and tropical filters removed - in clean fighter configuration.

 

The first example with the Romanian "Cross" has already been done, if you do a search for it.

Thank you for your reply! Although I didn't do a thorough search before posting this, I did a few years ago and remember finding nothing conclusive. So i had a look again on the forums and this is what I found:

- A generic Romanian A-3 skin was made in 2016 by 216th_Peterla, although afaik they have never published it.

- The overpainted F-8 was made for the A-3 in 2017 by sjellzir. However (this is what I remembered), the link is dead. I have posted on the thread asking whether someone has it. 

 

Also I'm intrigued by your mention of their use. I didn't know they were used operationally. As far as I know, they were confiscated by the Russians/kept at IAR Brasov, but in any case, never used operationally. I'm interested in knowing more if you have more information.
