This is recently finished Focke Wulf Fw-190A-5 with the markings of 5.JG 54 flown by Lt Emil Lang in Eastern front during the summer of 1943.
Lt. Emil Lang accumulated 173 aerial victories , 144 of which were gained on the Eastern Front.
The cockpit area enhanced by Eduard seatbelts and Airscale instrument dials decals. The cockpit was painted to RLM 66 by Tamiya acrylics.

-Wheels are from “Eagle Part EP 53-32 Main Tire and Wheel set for A1-A6”
-Decals from “Data Decals #32005
The camouflage scheme is as it appeared during the summer of 1943, when sand tone patterns were sprayed over the original two tone gren. Painting done with Gunze acrylics. Lower surfaces painted RLM 76, Upper surfaces to RLM70/71 and sand color. In accordance with orders from higher up hierarchy, unit markings were oversprayed .
Nevertheless the green heart shape was stil recognizable on the aircraft of JG 54.

  7. The build looks wonderful. The cockpit looks great with the detail added and nicely highlighted as well. The first thing I noticed in the headline photo was the two lighter green spots on the fuselage. Great detail, you explained, of the order to overpaint the unit markings. Small detail that adds a lot to the story of the model and the real aircraft.

  8. Really impressive build, how do you bring out the panel lines so well?

  9. What a beautiful build of a beautiful bird. Such crisp paint work - I hope you are really proud of this one.

    Emil 'Bully' Lang in addition to his impressive score also holds the record of victories per day : 18 !

  10. Scarily awesome Tolga. I really like these Hasegawa 190 kits.

  11. It's a fookin' masterpiece, Tolga! You build everything to such a high standard it's hard to say one is better than the other, but this just might manage to stand out as The Best Yet.

  12. Tolga, you are killing me! Such Great work on an awesome subject...I'm working on a A-5 now and your camo scheme has tipped the scales to finishing it off in an Eastern Front JG 54 Grun hertz machine. Thank you for the inspiration!

  13. Truly the work of a Master Builder!

  15. Let me join the chorus of "Well Done!"
