I've Been itching to get back to plastics and recently picked up Hasegawa's FolkeWulf FW190 A-5 "Herman Graf," and was wondering what are my options on "after Market" detailing goodies. I would love some feed back on this before I start the build.

Thanks !
Joe.

Hi Joe,
I have this kit and I have been planning on doing a mask set for the Herman Graf markings. There are a number of pictures out there showing different configurations of the "tulip" pattern and with and without the yellow under nose panel. I haven't yet researched further than that.

Hi Joe; One bit of aftermarket for this kit that I find interesting is Eagle Editions' high-altitude supercharger intakes . . .

. . . which will allow you to depict Graf's mount after it was modified (at which point it was in the even more flamboyant yellow/tulip nose livery).
