dsahling Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm going to be doing a Hasegawa 1/32 FW-190A8 'Black 12' most of the markings I can find masks for, but I've been looking for a while without luck for a decal that goes on the cowling in 1/32 that looks like a light blue shield with a black and white knight's helmet on it. Does anyone know where to get one, i.e. a specific decal sheet or have an extra they'd be willing to part with? Shoot me a PM with a response. Thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G.R.Morrison Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The emblem to which you refer was that of the JG 4, and if choosing a black number, your machine would have belonged to the 6.(Sturm)/JG 4. Kagero includes this emblem in their no.15035 "FW 190s Over Europe, Part 1" decal/booklet, where it is used on Michalski's WNr.960542. It seems the background color on the shield varied, as quite-recent 'aircraft archaeology' in the Czech Republic has unearthed a FW 190A-8 cowl piece (in remarkably good condition) that clearly shows the background of the emblem in red (which is logical for the second Staffel in a Gruppe, in this case, your 6./JG 4). This piece is now the Museum of the Air Battle Over the Ore Mountains, in Kovarska. (This museum commemorates the midday air battle of 11.Sept. 1944) I do not have an online photo-hosting service, but would be happy to email the color images of this cowl piece to you. Good luck with your build, GRM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I've seen that emblem somewhere. I know I have it in 1/48th, but I'll look around in my 1/32 kits. Perhaps Revell or Hasegawa? gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
