A late entry. I hadn't realised the group build had started, and since I had offered to get involved, back in October 2015, it seems only right that I should try to put in at least one, and try to get it finished by the deadline... I purchased this kit, which I understand dates from 1992, but is based on an older kit, at the Kitswop in Telford last year... Seems a nice enough kit. Here is its entry in Scalemates:- https://www.scalemates.com/kits/132280-hasegawa-51305-focke-wulf-fw190a-8-nacht-jaeger However, while all the parts are there, the decal sheet showed some water damage:- (This is, of course, something that often happens with old kits, including those purchased at the Kitswop) So, I decided to use a set of decals from the stash - this is made by Karaya, and is one of a number illustrating captured FW 190's. The particular set that I have concentrates on US captured versions, which after capture were used as "hacks" by various American airmen. There is the link to the decal set (again from Scalemates):- https://www.scalemates.com/kits/144451-karaya-d7206-captured-butcherbirds-vol-v I intend to use one of the most colourful - a plane in bright red and yellow. While that one is an F-8, there are not too many differences from the A-8 (so far as I can see), so it should be fine.... (I have already done the all-red version, which is an A-8, unfortunately using the "new-tool" Airfix kit, which turned out to be a bit of a disaster as the thing just wouldn't go together too well...a familiar tale, I am told) Anyhow, here are the usual sprue shots for the kit:- I will make a start in the next couple of days Thanks for looking, Philip
