Lifelike Decals 1/32
Focke Wulf Fw 190 Part 1

Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have four distinctive Focke Wulfs. These are a combination of Fw 190A/D examples.

This decal set provides markings for four aircraft:

• Fw 190A-3, 6./JG 2, Yellow 1, Erich Rudorffer
• Fw 190A-7, 5./JG 26, White 9, Adolf Glunz
• Fw 190D-9, SG 2, White 1, Hans-Ulrich Rudel
• Fw 190D-9, II./JG 54, Yellow 11, Gunter Rey

The color profiles inside provide top, bottom and side views of the subjects, and these Japanese-made decals are have not been made 'politically correct' as the swastikas are present on the decals and in the profiles. Bravo Lifelike! The Fw 190D-9 is available from Hasegawa (old and new-tooled versions), while neither the Fw 190A-3 nor Fw 190A-7 have been rendered in this scale though Hasegawa seems to be working through the series with its updated series. At present, the Fw 190A-5, Fw 190A-8, Fw 190A-6 and Fw 190F-8 are available.

As you can see in the decal image, this set comes complete with a full set of national markings, distinctive unit markings, and a wealth of maintenance stencils. If you're looking for a colorful alternative that isn't from the mainstream Superscale/Eagle Strike/Aeromaster line-up, here is a nice way to be different!

This set is definitely recommended! You can purchase these decals through FlightDecs or directly from Lifelike Decals.

My sincere thanks to Lifelike Decals for this preview!
