Looking for info on Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierő aircraft winter camo. Specifically 102 Regt. FW-190F-8s during the Budapest campaign. Luftwaffe Jabos had white wash but not finding any evidence of their Hungarian counterparts doing the same.

WW2 Aircraft Hungarian Aircraft Thread Try asking these guys. A lot of Aircraft enthusiasts from all over the world from pilots to engineers to historians. The link I posted I ran across. From some of the pics (quite a few are B&W) they do not appear to use the White washes that the Luftwaffe and other forces used. But I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time or the last :slight_smile: .

Thanks. That is what I’m finding too. I saw only one photo, looked like a captured Soviet bird (Il-4?) with winter camo. I’ll try you lead.

OOPS! FW-58           

There is no photographic evidence of Hungarian FW-190s ever being whitewashed. It is not impossible of course, but temporary white camouflage was not common for Hungary anyway, except a few Bf-109s on the Eastern Front that are supported by pictures.

So if you want to be on the safe side you’d rather not do it.
