Hi all, here is my new 1/72 Eduard Fw 190 A-8: The kit: The eduard kit is probably the best 1/72 Fw 190 on the market. The kit parts and also the brassin aftermarket parts fit together very well. The surface details are fantastic. Original aircraft: The Fw 190 is a very durable construction. Equipped with a BMW 801 D star engine, the aircraft could be used for a variety of operational configurations. The A-8, which was built from mid-1944 onwards, was equipped with four 20 mm MG 151s and two 13 mm MG 131s.The aircraft had also an ETC-501 multipropose pylon under the fuselage. In the fighter role, there was an additional fuel tank attached. My model: My model represents the blue 13, Stab/JG 300 which was participated in the defense of the Reich (Reichsverteidigung) towards the end of 1944. Construction: The Eduard kit is not easy to build but with a lot of dry fiting you can put all parts together without putty and sanding. I have used some Brassin Detail-Sets which i can highly recommend: 602082 Fw 190 A-8 Engine 602086 Fw 190 A Propeller Several details (e.g. brake lines, MG 151, position lights, antennae) were scratch built. The kit was painted with Gunze acrylics and Alclad II metalics. Weathering: Preshading, postlighting, Tamiya Smoke for traces of oil and gas plume, various oil and pastell colors for dirt and wear, silver pin for scratches. Walk arround: Some details: I hope you like this model. Criticism, notes, and comments are gladly welcome. Best regards. Kai
