This latest release from Lifelike Decals decal sheet features four different Fw-190's. This is Part 2 of a series dealing with the Fw-190 in Luftwaffe markings from February 1942 in France to the summer of 1944 in Germany.

The first plane is a Fw-190 A-4 flown by Oblt Siegfried Schnell, Sta. KAp. 9/JG2 in the miiddle of 1942 at Vannes AB inn Vrance. This aircraft sports a black rooster head artwork on the engine cowling and 72 kill markings on the rudder. The camo scheme is RLM 74/75/76 with a yellow rudder, yellow lower nose and yellow wing tips.

The camo scheme is RLM 74/75/76 with a yellow lower rudder, yellow lower nose and yellow wing tips. There is a big green heart on the side of the fuselage with a yellow theatre band.

The quality of these decals is of very good quality. The decals themselves are clearly printed and in perfect register. Some decals come in 2 layers to ensure perfect registration.
