Aeromaster 48-061: Butcher Birds II

Here is a nice general FW-190 sheet with seven options (two are not shown). This sheet was printed in 1993 and at that time the Dragon FW-190A series was about all that was available. So to do the A-4 variant, a Medallion Models conversion was recommended. Of course today there are a variety of excellent FW-190 kits available in this scale and those should all work well with this sheet. Unless mentioned, the scheme on these is RLM 74/75/76 with mottling of various density.

First option is an A-4 variant from 1943 flown by Josef Wurmheller with 9./JG 2. Yellow rudder and lower engine cowling.

In several shades of green is an aircraft of I./JG 54 in Russia during 1943. This is also an A-4 version and has yellow theater markings with the fuselage band through the fuselage insigina.

An A-5 this time as flown by Hermann Graf. Yellow rudder and lower cowling.

An A-8 is this one from 5.(Sturm)/JG 300 Red fuselage band.

Another A-8 from 8. (Sturm)/ JG 3. THis plane has a black cowling.

Not shown is a desert camo F-8 with 2./SG 2 in Italy during 1943.

Finally a G-2 version with 5./SG 1 in 1943 with yellow fuselage band, lower cowling and wing tips.

The decals on this 1993 are nicely printed. Insignia will have to come from the kit or other source.
