The late Paul Allen collection had one. It came from Russia where it had been bellied in a filed. Pilot walked away leaving his googles hanging on the pitot mask. Still there when it was recovered. [youtube]https://youtu.be/1YIgjIl9G9s[/youtube]

There is an F-model (ground attack version with the same engine) getting close to flying but it's not there yet. There are no Jumo-engine (long-nose, Dora model) examples flyable in the world.

No, it has a few original parts, like the tailwheel, but as Steve Hinton says, it's a kitplane that looks like a Fw-190. Steve's the only one who's flown both, FlugWerk replicas and the real thing, and he says he never understood how WWII pilots raved about the 190 when he flew the replicas but his first flight in the real one, he totally got it. He compares it to driving a VW Beetle vs. a Porsche.

Looked so cool. That is a replica with an American Pratt R-2800 Engine. I know it was at Chino for a while. Probably the one Steve Hinton flew that he later compared to the Original.
