This is the second new FW-190A-5 sheet from Eagle Cals. As with the first one, this one covers four aircraft. It also provides a full stencil suite for one and insignia for two if the modeler chooses wisely. As with the previous sheet, this one is designed for the Hasegawa 1/32 FW-190A-5.

First up is Black 13, the aircraft of Erich Hondt of 2./JG11. This aircraft is in the standard scheme of RM 74/75/76. It has a yellow fuselage band and the white tail of a section leader. As with all the planes on this sheet, it is from the mid-1943 time period.

Next up is Egon Mayer's aircraft when he was Gruppenkommander of III./JG 2. In standard scheme, this aircraft has the yellow lower cowling of all the planes on this sheet as well as a yellow rudder with his kill markings on it.

White 1 is a 1./JG 1 aircraft, also in standard scheme but with the intricate checkerboard nose pattern common with this unit. There is a separate sheet (not shown) with the nose checkers on it. A comprehensive guide to placing these decals is given with the instructions so no worries on getting this one on right!

Finally, Walter Nowotny's White 4 when he was with I./JG 54. Typical of this unit, the camo is non-standard being RLM 70/71 on the upper surfaces. Standard ID markings for the eastern front in terms of a yellow fuselage band, lower wing tips and lower rudder.

As always, the instructions are most complete and will bring out any specific differences unique to each aircraft.
