Three more interesting schemes for the Tamiya (or Dragon) FW-190D.

First is the D-13, Yellow 10 from JG 26, which every decal maker has done at least once (so it seems). Regardless, it is an interesting scheme and for those who want to do it, here it is. This plane has a very complex scheme consisting of RLM 82/83 uppers in a wavy pattern over RLM 75. The underside is RLM /76 with most of the lower wing in unpainted metal and RLM 75. The sheet gives a good guide for this scheme.

Next  is red 3 from II./JG 6. This is in RLM 75/76/81/82/99. RLM 99 is what we used to call the fictitious RLM 84, a sort of Sky color. Many of us think this is nothing more than poorly mixed or thinly applied RLM 76, but no one knows for sure. Anyway, the main upper colors. The underside of the wing could be unpainted metal. Another interesting scheme made from pre-painted components.

Finally, yellow 4 from II./JG 54. This is a more standard scheme of RLM 75/82 over 76. Unlike the other two aircraft on the sheet with the 'blown' hood, this one has an early armor plate and head support. 

Looks like full insignia for all and stencils for two. Often late war planes had a very minimal stencil suite.
