As per Gruppenführer Airframe's request

Hasegawa 1/48 FW190A0-6.

Still waiting for it to come in the post. I plan to start it as soon as my Corsair is finished, hopefully before the end of january.

Can't edit title to put 'Gruppe Build' in there...... MODS!!

Muller:

R. Hübl's A-6 has werke nummer : 550 490, the prop is not white with a black stripe as the box art suggests.

2/3rds of the prop is black from the engine cowling forward while the remainder to the tip is white

Nice info Erich, you really are a great help to this Group, thanks!
Terry.

True Terry, many times I wonder what we'd do without people like Erich, yourself and others around here, they're priceless gems to this forum....

I'm pretty sure this kit shares most of the same parts as my JG301 A-9 "White 2" with a few different minor parts...

muller · 01-08-2009, 06:48 AM

Cheers Erich, i won't have to worry about that fiddly decal now

Can't wait to start building it

Thanks to whoever edited my title and stickied this post.

Erich · 01-08-2009, 02:44 PM

Muller, another guy in his staffel had the white prop with black spiral : flying white 9, Lt. Heinz-Günther Lück

muller · 01-08-2009, 02:59 PM

I read somewhere the checkered nose markings in JG1 were done away with when checker nosed P-47's started appearing in the skies in early 1944.

Erich · 01-08-2009, 03:29 PM

the checkered and later the striped cowlings were a dead give-away that they were from the Brunswick area.................."Brunswick Boys" as the US called them for short term. yes by spring of 44 and the ghastly loses JG 1 got smart and removed the colourful markings
