The latest sheet from EagleCals is another for early FW-190As. There are four different options on this one, all with yellow lower cowlings. This is the 1/32 sheet with these same aircraft available in 1/48. This sheet is pretty much for the PCM kit though Eagle Cals does not list available kits.

The first option is for Black <~ from I./JG 3 in the spring of 1943. This FW-190A-3 is in a white winter camo with RLM 76 undersides. There is a yellow fuselage band and underside wing tips

Next is Black Triangle, a fighter bomber from I./SchG 1. This FW-190A-3 has no outboard guns. Yellow is used for the fuselage band, under wing tips and the lower rudder. Camouflage is RLM 70/71/76. It carries an early ETC 501 bomb rack.

Yellow 5 is another FW-190A-3 and from 6./JG 1. It also has the outer wing guns removed and is painted in RM 74/75/76 with a red tip to the spinner.

Finally, we have <<, the FW-190A-2 of 'Pips' Priller when he was Kommandeur of III/JG 26 in Februrary of 1942. Yellow rudder and RLM 74/75/76 camouflage.

The decals themselves are superbly printed by Cartograf. There is a full stencil suite and the instructions have a full stencil placement guide. There appears to be enough insignia for two planes. Some of the markings and swatikas have the white printed separately to ensure proper registration.

EagleCals instructions are in full color and provide a short detailed description of the aircraft and any differences from the norm.
