Academy FW-190A8 in 1/72nd
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, October 26, 2003 5:04 PM
Just got this kit today...Had a Tamiya in my hands and was looking at the Academy kit...lil cheaper and I had never built one of thier kits so I went for it....everythings still in the bag but looks nice. The kit also came with a 1/72 Kubelwagen. Anything I need to watch out for when assembling this kit. Also does anyone have or know where I can find any refrence photos online?
Thanks,
Chris

Try this site:

http://www.luftfahrtmuseum.com/htmi/general/i.htm

It has an excellent picture of an A8 on the index page for starters!!!!

I used this site for research on my He177.

Also try:

http://www.luftarchiv.de

It really is stunning, and a must for all Luftwaffe modellers.

Alot of the text is in German, but English navigation is at least available.
