Just been trying to decide which one to use. It'll be a 190 but that's a far as I've got.

Just my personal view but I would go with the new Airfix tool. But you sure have a nice F-Dub collection.

It is very good I agree but I may go for the HB for a quick build due to other GBs coming up.

Wow, there's a fine collection of decals, and some colourful ones too. Best of luck with choosing which one to do.

I've gone for the Revell F8. The reason behind this is I'm going to use the markings of a captured G3 and cosmetically there's very little difference in them that I can find.
Sorry if this offends the purists :ha: :mrgreen:
However I think Mr Vandal will approve that I'm going for the primarily white one

I thought you should know that the Academy Fw-190 in 1/72 has the options for a A-6 and A-8. The A-6 has a cowling that is a lot closer to the G-3 flown by the US Navy. I plan on using mine for the Tri-color scheme.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Thanks Chuck unfortunately all of the the 4 Academy kits I have are of the D version.
