Against the Odds...1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8 JG300

Building all these 109s, my dad almost forgot the 190ies.

So he started a late-war JG301 A-9 using the Tamiya A-8 kit with decals from the Eduard A-9

The Tamiya kit includes the bigger wooden prop.

After a closer look at Yellow 8 my dad realized that it had the metal prop with balance weight. Don´t have that prop in the sparesbox and don´t want to buy it extra for this model. So my dad changed his mind and will build most probably an A-8, possibly this scheme

Is it possible that the cowling gaps from earlier were made by the engine being skewed?

the cowling of Tamiya´s A-3 fits good, A-8/F-8 not so

my dad can´t tell for sure now, but he thinks that early versions of this kit had a better fit than later editions

A really small inconvenience which most people won't notice unless you point it out to them. 

However, you should paint the white spot of the CA with the camouflage colour to blend everything.
