Continuing with some Luftwaffe aces, this one is for those who flew the FW-190. All of these planes are in RLM 74/75/76 with varying levels of mottling on the sides. Kits are many for the later versions, but early planes are a bit limited. For the A-4, there really isn't a good one, though you can modify the Tamiya FW-190A-3 with a new fin tip to bring it close. The A-7 has been done by Hasegawa several times so it is just a matter of finding one.

First  up is Heinz Bar's FW-190A-7, Red 13. In addition to the usual camo, his has a red fuselage band  and yellow rudder as worn by aircraft of JG 1

Siegfried Schnell's A-4 variant has very light mottling except on the aft fuselage. His yellow 4 has an RLM 04 rudder and lower cowling.

Finally, an unknown A-4 variant from JG 2 in 1942. Actually what is shown in the drawing is an A-3 version. It has a yellow rudder and lower cowling. It also has the large eagle motif that was common with this unit during its early use of the FW-190.

The sheet comes complete with insignia for all and data markings for two of the aircraft on the sheet.
