recommendation for 1/48 FW-190 kit?

[PaulR]

Evening all!

Title says it all really. I am looking to build a 1/48th A8/F8 version, and want an accurate kit that is easy to build - not really bothered if the kit has the correct '1943 style rudder pedals' or not! . So far as I can I see it, there are the Tamiya, Eduard and Hasegawa kits fairly easily available. I also know there are/were Dragon/Trimaster kist released which may have been re-boxed by others - Italeri? Anyway, any advice on things '190' would be appreciated.

Cheers, Paul

Hi Paul

This one has been asked before, see http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...amp;mode=linear for lots of info.

Also check the Fw190 group build for builds of most of these.

For what your specifically asking for, I'd say the Hasegawa kit.

I'd recommend the Eduard kits, but you have to work at them as they don't fall together. If you want to build one with out much effort then chose either a Tamiya or Hasegawa kit. I'd steer well clear of the Dragon/Trimaster ones. Like Troy has said take a look at the Fw190 Group Build as most are covered in there.

Edit, Just seen you want one for ease of build so that counts the Eduard ones out!
