Mickey Mouse...1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-5/U3, II./SG1
20/2022
After the 109 Emil, here´s my dad´s second Luftwaffe subject this year.
Hasegawa kit, which comes with an early style and for this version wrongly shaped ETC, took a correct one from an older limited Hasegawa 190 kit. Also this kit has only the late style wheels, took spoked ones from the sparesbox. Eduard seatbelt used, EZ Line for the antenna wires. Fuselage decals are leftovers from the ProModeler 190G-2/3. The cross and triangle applied on the left side were slightly damaged, had to do some paint touch ups. Camo done with MRP RLM74/75/76. For my dad the RLM74 was too much greenish, therefore he mixed it with some more grey. Brake lines done with plastic rods and lead wire, landing gear retraction wire with fishing line.
Model shows a 6.Staffel, II. Gruppe, Schlachtgeschwader 1, in Poland around January 1943.
Another Spreitzhofer Family excellent model! A fantastic build thread, as well, TOTALLY informative.
Well done!
Great result on Micky Mouse, Reinhard @grimreaper. Your building thread was a pleasure to follow and very helpful.
A feast of Fw 190's today! Another beautiful model - well done.

Reinhard,
It looks great ! The colors look spot on, and the photographs really make it shine.
I really enjoyed reading your build journal. Thanks again for participating in our Luftwaffe group build.
