Here is a series of photos of a quick build by Jerry Crandall
Hasegawa 1/32 Fw 190 A-8
"White 6" Lt. Gustl Salffner 7./JG 300
This Fw 190 A-8 "White 6" was the personal aircraft of Staffelkapitän Lt. Gustl Salffner of 7./JG 300, March 1945. This colorful A-8 bears the pilot's family coat of arms on both sides of the engine cowling which is a rearing white unicorn. The JG 300 Blue/White/Blue home defense bands, which previously had been dark Red, were applied after December 1944. Since this was a locally applied color these Blue/White/Blue bands vary in value from mid-blue to a light blue.
Port side of "White 6" with ETC 501 rack set up for E2 light steel drop tank that is painted black for night fighter use.
This late A-8 was equipped with the blown canopy which I liberated from the 1/32nd D-9 kit as I had used the flat canopy on my D-9 build and had this one left over. If the canopy is displayed in the open position, the antenna wire would be slack.
Starboard view of "White 6", note the family crest emblem is applied on both sides of engine cowling.
Decals are EagleCals #77
