Re: FW-190A-8's

[quote=LzyBns;44211]Hey Andrew,
Here is one pic, I have found showing a Fw-190A with bomb racks like that of Witty
I believe that the picture you posted is a FW-190A-7, not an A-8 model as depicted by Witty. One of the easiest ways to distinguish the A-8 series from its predecessors, aside from the bulging gun housings on top of the engine ( the A-7s had these also ) is the location of the pitot head on the wings. All FW-190s through models 1-7, had it as shown in your picture ( approximately mid-wing ) . The A-8s , however, moved the pitot head to the wingtip, which seems to be the way Witty did it.
