What FW-190 is that?

Interesting. The picture was taken at Evergreen, but they do not list a 190 as part of the collection:

Goodall's list has "Red 13" listed as belonging to the Tri State Air Museum in Ohio.
Here is a picture of it there:

Does not appear to be the same "Red 13" to me, unless it has been repainted. In which case they shouldn't have since it looked much better before going to Evergreen!

It is a static replica completed at Paine Field a couple of years back. It was started somewhere else, and later taken over by Evergreen and finished off for them by Legend Flyers. I saw it while it was being done, very nicely done, but definitely not airworthy.

Was it a Flug Werk airframe or just a completely different build?

The "Fake-Wulf" was just a private endeavor that they inherited and finished for Evergreen.

Yagen's 262 is the single sweater that was flying around Paine Field most recently... It's convert able to a two-holer. One set of controls but two canopies.
