No details available yet about the airshow in Oberschleissheim/Munich, except for the date. It is supposed to be a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Deutsches Museum (equivalent to the Science Museum) in Munich, which has a dedicated aircraft museum on this airfield.

What a beauty ! wow ! To see the FW190 in the flesh and hopefully flying will be the highlight of 2003. Anybody got more details about he airshow at Munich ?

@Sadsack: The wings do indeed seem short, but that’s the way they’re supposed to be!

@Ant: The front page of Flug Werk’s homepage (www.flugwerk.de) shows how the aircraft is going to be painted.

I would speculate that one (hopefully both) of the following events planned for next year could very well be the first public flying display of the FW190: The Aero 2003 exhibition in April 2003 in Friedrichshafen (on the Lake Constance in South Germany), or the 100 Years Deutsches Museum celebration in Oberschleissheim (Munich) on 17/18.05.03.

As far as I know,the only short span 190’s were a handful of the pre-production A-0’s.The Flug Werke machines are built to roughly A-8 standard,so they should have the full span wing.
Thanks for the pictures Kenneth,she certainly looks the bees knees.Any idea about what colour scheme she’ll be painted up in?

I think it’s just the perspective you get from a head on photo at close range. Lovely looking machine though, can’t wait to see one fly. 🙂

Is it this version or are the wings shorter?
