WNr. 584592, SG 2 or SG 10, Neubiberg, Germany, May 1945
The yellow 14, belonging to II. Gruppe SG 2 or SG
10 and left behind by Luftwaffe personnel at the
end of the war at Neubiberg, represents the Fw
190F-8 of the last production series. The upper
surfaces were painted in RLM 75/76/81/83, while
the lower surfaces were partly sprayed in RLM
76. Similar to the Fw 190D-9s produced at the end
of the war, part of the lower wing surfaces were
left in bare metal for example, while the flaps,
ailerons and fuselage bottom were sprayed with
RLM 76. The bottom of the elevator appears dark
in the photo, but this is down to the different angle
of its surface to the light source. A yellow band
was sprayed around the nose, indicating attack
aircraft of the Luftwaffe at the time.
SG 10, České Budějovice, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, May 1945
One of the aircraft left by Stab SG 10 and some of its
Gruppe at the airfield in České Budějovice was the Fw
190F-8 marked with a yellow letter K. It sported signs
of camouflage modifications of some SG 10 aircraft at
the end of the war. The entire upper surfaces were
brushed over with dark green RLM 83 or a very similar
color. As it was made in field conditions the green
color interfered irregularly with the lower surfaces.
The insignia on the upper side of the wing and on
the fuselage partially perished under the new paint.
Shortly afterwards the yellow K got a replacement
tail surfaces in the standard grey-gray camouflage
from a destroyed Fw 190. This was the reason for
the mismatch in the style of the applied crosses and
swastikas. By May 1945, the brush-painted green
color was considerably worn. The identifying yellow
Jabo stripe wrapped around the engine cowling.

application of this stripe led to different widths of the
stripe and also to different positions of its application.
For this scheme, the yellow stripe appearance was
reconstructed according to the most common
occurrence within SG 10. It is worth noting the removal
of the lower main landing gear wheel covers, which
was intended to prevent operational difficulties on
muddy airfields. The aircraft carried ETC 50 hangers
for four 50 kg bombs under the wings.
