Here is a photo feature of Steffen Arndt's (alpha_tango) 1:48 scale Tamiya Fw 190 F-8. The model was finished as Gruppenkommandeur Egon Thiem's I./SG10 machine.

Nice job Steffen!
I'll remember it as inspiration for trying an 'F-8 again - my previous effort, along with Open Blitz et al was thoroughly trashed in the move away from London.
I like it--a nice, clean-looking build. The pattern of the winter camo complements the lines of the plane (as does the closed canopy). It's a shame the aerial wire mechanism on the Wurger makes it complicated to leave the canopy moveable, as I'd probably do just that on my builds.
