The Second FW-190 sheet covers four more A-8/F-8 types and again, just about anyone's 1/48 FW-190A-8/F-8 will fill the bill. Some more familiar schemes, at least for me as I've seen these on their earlier 1/72 sheets. Some updates have been done in light of new info.

Blue 4 is a FW-190A-8 from 12./JG 5 in Norway during early 1945. It is in the usual RLM 74/75/76 and has a blue spinner with yellow rudder.

Next is probably an F-9 variant (so grab your fan with two more blades and your wider prop blades) in RLM 75/83/73 with yellow nose band and rudder. Note the blown hood on this one.

In a most unusual camo scheme where the fuselage is overall RLM 74 in an otherwise somewhat normal RLM 74/75/76 scheme. This black-nosed A-8 version is from JG 3 with a white fuselage band. This is an armored A-8 with no upper cowl guns.

Finally, from II./SG 4 is this F-8 version. Lots of yellow on its RLM 75/83/76 camo scheme, including markings on the forward cowl, spinner, rudder, fuselage band, and lower wing tips.

As with the earlier sheet, you get insignia for them all and will have to glean the data markings from the kit sheet.
