ORIGINAL, RARE WWII German Luftwaffe Aircraft Recognition Wooden Model Focke-Wulf Fw 190. “Recognition Models” (also known as “ID” or “spotter” models) were seen as critical to the war effort. Some were detailed for use in educational films or for marking identification, but many were simply painted black to simulate a silhouette. These helped familiarize observers with the outlines of planes from all possible angles.
