Hello Britmodellers. I just finished my Fw190A5 with the markings of Uffz. Walter Kohne from I/JG1, based at Deelen/Netherlands sometime during July 1943. I liked this marking because of the yellow nose and somehow unusual armament configuration. From what I read, although Walter Kohne himself hated the heavy WGr 21 grenade launchers, because it was transforming his 190 in some sort of truck, he was nevertheless able to shoot down at least two heavy bombers using this weapon. This is the old tool Focke-Wulf from Eduard, the over-engineered one. I started the build somehow fearful because the complexity of the kit and its dreaded reputation (as an over engineered kit with bad fit) but I have to say that, to my surprise, it was actually a very enjoyable experience. Until now I have completed very few models (I think this is my 8th or 9th), so it is difficult for me to compare it with other models, but I can tell you for sure that this is by far the best kit I have built to date. The model is not without problems, but this was intended to be some kind of test build for the rest of old-tooled Antons that are waiting in my stash (at the time of their acquisition, I was some sort of compulsive collector, otherwise I cannot explain). So I hope that the next ones will be better. This model was built in parallel with a Hasegawa Fw190A4 and if you are interested the build log for both models, you can find it right here . Hope You’ll like it. Thanks for looking and cheers.

I finished this kit a couple of months ago. Added Ultracast wheels, Master barrels and pitot and blanked over the outboard MG FF ports and changed the under wing access panels to the smaller bulge. Painted with WEM Colorcoats, Xtracrlyix and Humbrol. Eagle Strike decals. Feel free to point out any mistakes.
