If you are interested in a translation:

FW190-F8 project available. New built fuselage with original equipment. At request full restoration with combat history possible. Only serious enquiries please!

I wonder what they mean with combat history possible while using a new built fuselage (and wing probably). The FW-designation ( both capital letters) points into one of the Flugwerk-built airframes. According to their website they used a dozen tailwheel assemblies also with full combat history.

Another case of jacking up the dataplate and wheel a new airframe underneath. Any FW-190 restoration/reconstruction is welcome in my view but what is next?

A 42-year old pilot with full WWII combat history?
