Any build by Jean-Luc Formery (TedMamere) is guaranteed to be something special! But this one is a real stunner! Hasegawa's brand-new 1/48 scale Fw 190A-5, complete with "Pips" Priller and his famous BMW 327 car. Outstanding!

Very nice job, Jean Luc.
I really wish they would release that car as a separate kit though.

Most impressive work, Jean-Luc!

The BMW is the icing on the cake! Well done!

Hi Dave!
The kit WILL be released separately by Hasegawa and a Fw 190 A-8 is announced too...

Outstanding work Jean-Luc! Very clean build.
