Seems like a dearth of Luftwaffe subjects from the 'big boys' as of late, so it was nice to see a couple of new sheets from Aeromaster on the subject. Recommended kits are basically any one you have that fits the scale, though I don't see Otaki mentioned..... No bands to sweat and so the actual kit makes little difference in that area. These are all A-8/F-8 variants and if you think they are somewhat reminiscent of something, you'd not be far off. Several of these schemes have been on earlier sheets as I've used a few on 1/72 kits. They have been updated with any new information so you don't have to concern yourself in that regard.

First up is an FW-90F-8 of Stab II./SG 10 in 1945. RLM 75/83/76 with a yellow band around the cowling and yellow rudder. Mottling is somewhat heavy. This is the same markings as on the Revell 1/32 kit.

Next is an A-8 variant from Stab II of an unknown geschwader (the green number and black bar tell us this much). Yellow rudder on another RLM 75/83/76 aircraft.

This black nosed A-8 is from 11./JG 3 and has the white fuselage band. No lower DF loop and the colors are not given but it looks like RLM 74/75/76 with light mottling. A template is provided for you to paint the interior of the fuselage insignia.

Finally an F-8 variant from an unknown unit in RLM 75/83/76. Yellow nose and rudder. This one has the current unit's markings painted over a previous owner's, making for an unusual aircraft.

The sheet provides full insignia for all options and no stencils. Those can be gleaned from the kit or an aftermarket sheet.
