1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8/R2 part 1 - JG 3 Butcherbirds / Fw 190A-8 Rammjäger
ASK 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8/R2, part 1: decals for four armoured fighters of the JG 3 Sturm assault squadrons in 1944, including Black 13 of Knight’s Cross holder Werner Gerth.
This 1/72 ASK decal sheet from the JG 3 Butcherbirds / Fw 190A-8 Rammjäger series offers four marking options for the Fw 190A-8/R2:
Black 13, 11./JG 3 (Sturm), Lt. Werner Gerth, July 1944
Black 8, 4./JG 3 (Sturm), Uffz. Willi Maximowitz, Dreux airfield, June 1944
Yellow 2, 4./JG 3 (Sturm), Uffz. Willi Maximowitz, Dreux airfield, 1944
Yellow 17, 12./JG 3 (Sturm), Uffz. Willi Unger, Barth airfield, May 1944
The A-8/R2 carried 30 mm MK 108 cannon in the outer wings and, with additional cockpit armour, served with the Sturm units tasked with breaking up American heavy bomber formations at close range. The follow-up part 2 brings further JG 3 aircraft. If necessary, the decal carrier varnish can be removed by washing it off with Zippo lighter fluid.
