Freezin´Wulf…Eduard 1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-4 “Greenheart”
Built in 2017.
When Eduard released the new genetration 190, my dad had to build one. Finally also the first model of our Austrian WW2 leading ace Nowotny.
The kit is definitely to recommend. Fit and engineering are far better then with [...]
