JUNE KITS
Fw 190D-13 Weekend Edition
1/48 Cat.No. 84106
Fw 190D-13/R11, W.Nr. 836017, Stab./
JG 26, Flensburg - Weiche, Germany,
May 1945
This aircraft had belonged to JG 26 and was
captured by the RAF at Flensburg – Weiche ai-
reld on May 5, 1945. It is highly possible that
this aircraft was own
by Major Franz Götz, CO of JG 26 (Ritterkreuz
holder, 63 victories). Yellow ‚10‘ is said to be
Götz´s lucky number. The small Ace of Spades
badge on both fuselage sides refers to his ca-
reer in the role of III./JG 53 ‚Pik As‘ comman-
ding ofcer. The small inscription on the lower
part of the cowling is not accurately known – the
most often mentioned likelihood is ‚Kontrolliert‘,
seen on other German aircraft. The R11 de-
signation indicates installation of the PKS 12
autopilot, and the letter ‚R‘ stands for Rüstsatz
(‚additional set‘ in German). The WFG factory
camouage scheme was darkened using RLM 82
and RLM 83 colours
