Wulf Pack Vol. 2

Our fourteenth decal set is en?titled “Wulf Pack Vol. 2” and covers three different variants of the famous ‘Butcher Bird’:

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-5, WNr. 2648, ‘Yellow 3’, flown by Lt. Josef Wurmheller, Kapitän of 9./JG 2, Vannes, France, summer 1943.
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8, WNr. 737938, ‘Blue 9’ of 4./JG 301, Germany, spring 1945.
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9, WNr. 210129, ‘Red 9’ of 12./JG 54, Frankfurt am Main area, Germany, spring 1945.

The markings for one of the very few known Fw 190 A-5s with the famous JG 2 eagle design and a rare Fw 190 A-8 carrying the name ‘Steppke’, JG 11 emblem and JG 301 identification band, have never been reproduced in 1/48 or 1/72 scale decal form before, whilst the Fw 190 D-9 with the sparsely seen bright blue band of JG 54 was recently incorrectly identified and depicted by one of the kit manufacturers. Our instruction sheets include several photos of all depicted aircraft, some of which you may have never seen before. Illustrations were created by Janusz Swiatlon. This set is available directly from the manufacturer:

As previously, the decal sheets are printed by industry leader, Cartograf of Italy, which ensures top printing quality and ease of application. These are complemented by instructions that differ from the plain market standard. What you get are essentially high quality posters with accurate and inspiring illustrations. Each subject is presented on an A4-sized sheet, with large side aircraft profiles printed on the front, and the remaining artwork, reference photos and all necessary information laid out on the rear side. This way you not only get some cool decals for your model kit, but also attractive posters to adorn your man cave, at the same time!
