Fw 190A-8/R8 "Black 8"

This is my second attempt at the 1/48 Eduard Fw190A-8. Since this was not my first Bar-B-Que, I knew what to watch out for and where to take a little extra time and the results were much better. I will skip the review of the kit because I have previously done this, and will let you just look at the photos. I detailed the engine and compartment, added the applique armor at the sides the cockpit with some thin, pliable metal sheets and although not seen in the photos, lowered the flaps as well as repositioned the elevators. Everything else is pretty much stock.


The markings were Unteroffizer Will Maximowitz's mount from 11/IV/JG 3, June 1944 once again provided by Aeromaster. I liked the nose markings and think that it highlights the engine detail well. I think this is the best model I have done so far. I think that I want to try some other Eduard Fw190s, specifically the D version; this is quickly becoming one of my favorite kits.
