Red Tulip...1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-5/U7

Nice to see you doing a Würger again. I built the Egon Mayer markings of that kit, cause I liked the Höhenjäger intakes on the cowling. Mayer tested them against high altitude flying bombers and wasn't that impressed. Only three prototypes were deployed.

the resin parts for the air intakes aren´t a perfect fit, some filling and sanding neccessary

also added mini pieces of plastic sheet to bring the inserts to the same lenghts as the cowl

realized that Hasegawa got the tulip wrong, there should be a "leaf" in the center of the upper cowl, to say between the two gun "rails"

tried to remove the decals with masking tape but that didn´t work, so my dad sanded the decals off an repainted the cowl

gonna use LifeLike Decals now, waiting for them to arrive

red "leaves" done

my dad won´t use LifeLike decals anymore, couldn´t convince him, as already mentioned they are stiff, tend to stick on the finger when you try to move them during applying, also small pieces broke out, so some repainting to do, for the rest of the markings mydad will ue the kit decals
