It’s been a while since I have bought this Revell Kit of a 1/72 scale Focke Wulf Fw 190. It also has been a while that I built one … it was in my early teens.
This kit I bought again during one of our frequent visits to local car boot sales and, like usually, I didn’t pay much for it. Everything is completely packed and the parts are still sealed. The kit can be built to either represent a A-8 stationed in bad Aibling (south Germany) in 1945 or a A-8/R-11 stationed in Werneuchen (east Germany, around Berlin) in 1944. A profile of the 1944 A-8/R-11 from Werneuchen can be found here.
Original box art
Sealed bag with parts
The parts look reasonably good, but on some you can see clear signs, that the forms used have been around for quite a while, there is quite a lot of flush.
The wing parts
The main body parts
The decals are enough to create either of the two afore mentioned planes of the years 1944 or 1945. Depending on that choice you also make the choice of the paint job, since one requires a simple 2 tone while the other one is actually camouflaged.
