Classic Airframes 1/48 Fw 190V-1


Model Master paints were used for the 70/71, Hataka for the 65, and Tamiya for all the markings.  Some serious masking was needed for the splinter pattern.  The retraction struts
 are not correct and appear to be copies of the production version which was electrically actuated.  If my memory is right the gear on the V1 was hydraulic and the retraction
  struts were hydraulic cylinders. In photos the actuators were slightly higher on the strut.  My main reference for this model was Alfred Price's "Focke Wulf Fw 190 at War".
