Here is Chris Wauchop's newly finished Hasegawa 1/32 scale Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-5.

Chris said that construction was generally straightforward, although the engine cowling parts did not want to align perfectly.

He also said that the mounts for one of the undercarriage legs collapsed when the leg was being test fitted. Chris rebuilt the mount.

The kit pitot tube was replaced with one scratch built from brass.

The wheels are resin replacements from Eagle Editions.

The model is finished in the markings of one of Hauptmann Walter Nowotny's Wurgers on the Eastern Front, wearing the two-tone green colours sometimes seen on JG 54 aircraft.

All paints were applied with the Testor Aztek airbrush fitted with the fine tan-coloured tip.

Eagle Cals decals were used for this project (EC#83).

This model will be written up in more detail in Issue 45 of Military Illustrated Modeller magazine (Aircraft Edition).
