This aircraft is based on Major Hans Dortenmann aircraft "Yellow 1" from JG26. Scheme is based on
a May 1945 model. This was the last of three FW190D9 Dortenmann flew, Black 1, Red 1 and finally
Yellow 1. This aircraft was destroyed on the ground to avoid capture by the allies as they approached
the airfield. There is some debate if this aircraft had the all yellow tail as displayed. The most
current research from Crandall books suggests this is the accurate scheme of his final aircraft.
