The U-505, I'm pretty sure that's the sub at The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I've been on that sub actually, along with Jeff here (one of our artists . Have many a reference pic from that sub p.

But anyways, that plane is an FW-190 model D. I've double checked with our artists and saw the pics of it and it's pretty much right on (including the gun ports on the wings close to the fuselage, and the landing gear ports molded into the wing structure). The D model had the elongated nose structure to allow for the new engines they used on it, the Junkers Jumo 213A V-12 in place of the BMW 801 Radial. Also how it got it's nick-name, the Long-nose Dora. For a reference, check out Complete Book of WWII Combat Aircraft, pg. 161 for a picture of a Fw190 D-9
