Hasegawa Fw 190A-5 “Japanese Army”
This was one of Hasegawa´s many special boxings of the Fw 190, this time including a single option for a Japanese Fw 190.
The Fw 190 was sent to Japan from Germany thanks to a technological cooperation agreement between the two nations.

Now that’s unusual! Nice work.

Great work, Francisco! I love seeing military vehicles in unusual paint schemes. I have a small collection of photos of “captured” aircraft with the captor’s markings. While this was a gift, not a capture, it looks great.

Nice-lookin’ build right there, my friend.

Didn’t know the Japanese had any FW 190’s. Will definitely look it to this. An excellent paint job BTW.

As has been noted, this is a very familiar bird in very unusual plumage. There’s something a little ‘anime’ about the build, may just be the Japanese markings swaying my very swayable brain.

It wouldn´t surprise me to see the Fw 190 in a future anime. I´d watch it if it were to show up.

Nice work – and an unusual livery for the 190!
