Up for viewing is my last build, 1/48th scale Hasegawa Fw-190 A-4 in the markings of Oblt. Siegfried Schnell of JG2 in 1943. I added the following to the base kit; lead foil seat belts & photo etch buckles, Quickboost Revi 12 gunsight, L/G brake lines, brass tubing for the wing cannons & pitot tube, antenna wire & photo etch dropped flaps. Drilled out all the gun barrels & exhaust stacks. Elevators repositioned.  Painted using Extracolor paints & used a combination of kit decals, Tamiya ‘Eagle’ & spares for the markings. Slight weathering & paint chipping added.

Panel lines have been highlighted using a thin wash & exhaust & gun stains were added using pastels.

Base kit was the Hasegawa Fw-190 A3 converted to a A-4 model.
