Yes, they are the same airplane. The Blue 12 turned out to be Black 12 on the 21C offering. The tail code number is "500570". This is the Fw-190D which has the "patch work" undersurface, that is, mismatched panels showing hasty field repair issues and the lack of parts toward the end of WWII for Deutschland.
This offering is a totally excellent bird and is highly recommended by this Luftwaffe fan.
Hope this helps. BTW, as was pointed out by this fan, several months ago, ALL the Fw-190D's produced by 21C exhibited the same goof up on the fuselage step, on the port side; the step angle is installed 180 degrees opposite of what it should be-when the airplane is on the ground with the step extended for use, the step, as installed by 21C would have been very awkward to use in real life. The black men, as the ground crew was known (usually dressed in black coveralls), would have been VERY busy with their field retrofits!
HOWEVER, all the Fw-190D's are beauties, none the less.
