What size swastika do I use for 1/48 fw190?

[Walter]

I have a few sizes to choose from, 540mm, 650mm and 710mm. TIA.

You haven't said what version, but I've just measured an A3 and an A8 sitting near me on the shelf and they are both around 9-10mm square.  Unless you've missed a decimal point, those sizes you mention sound enormous..?

[Walter]

Thanks Werdna. Sorry it's an a7 I just thought they would be roughly the same for all 190's. It looks like 540mm should do the trick I think.

Are you sure about those sizes??  540mm is 54cm - which wouldn't be far off full size, 1:1 scale..?  If you're building a full-size Fw190, we need to know..  

[Walter]

Yes that is most likely actual size, I used those measurements because that what my Extradecals Sheet says. I wish i had full size in my back yard. But we all know what would happen if i bring one home. 🤪

540 is the largest of 3 potential sizes listed in Ullmann's Luftwaffe Colours. The other two are 530 and 480 and the 480 would obviously equate to the 10mm size in 1/48.

Thanks everyone, all sorted.

540 sounds familiar
