FW 190G / A-10 in Aluminum

Blimey, and I thought a Napier Sabre was complicated...

It's specific output wasn't that good, was it, considering it was almost two Merlins worth of capacity for about the same horsepower?

Look at it this way - its capacity was similar to the R-3350 and it generated about the same amount of power as the R-3350 did at that time. And the R-3350 was, indeed, around twice the capacity of the Merlin.

Update:





Wings from Ta 152H have been grafted onto a FW 190A-8 fuselage.  The lines aren't perfect, and it took some silly putty filler, but overall not bad for some major surgery.  The larger wing also came with a larger wing box.

The tail is extended, though not to full length of the 152.  It was a bit too stubby with the A-8 tail. 

I'm going with the "Graf" graphics.  More to follow.

Way to go!

Danke!    I also went back and posted images instead of links on the first post.

My interpretation of what little is known about the FW 190A-10. 



"Late in the war, the A-10 was fitted with larger wings for better maneuverability at higher altitudes, which could have allowed additional 30 mm (1.18 in) calibre, long-barreled MK 103 cannon to be fitted."

This is shown in aluminum with Hermann Graf markings ( "flames" ). 


Keeping with the WHIF theme, this would actually be the Dz 702 powered long-wing B-10. 

30mm Mk 103s with muzzle brakes on the inner wing stations.  13mm cowl guns now 20mm MG-FF-M.  While this particularly fighter would lack any fast-firing guns, the entire purpose of its existence is to target large bombers and hammer them with HE rounds. 

Though with the high-altitude aerodynamics and deadly firepower, it would also be more than a handful for any allied escort or interceptor.
