The markings for one of the very few known Fw 190 A-5s with the famous JG 2 eagle design and a rare Fw 190 A-8 carrying the name ‘Steppke’, JG 11 emblem and JG 301 identification band, have never been reproduced in 1/48 or 1/72 scale before, whilst the Fw 190 D-9 with the sparcely seen bright blue band of JG 54 was recently incorrectly identified and depicted by one of the kit manufacturers. Our instruction sheets include several photos of all featured aircraft, some of which you may have never seen before. Illustrations were created by Janusz Swiatlon. This set is available directly from the manufacturer:
- in 1/48 scale: https://exito.site/en_GB/p/EXITO-DECALS-ED48014-148-Wulf-Pack-vol.2-Fw-190/62565

- in 1/72 scale: https://exito.site/en_GB/p/EXITO-DECALS-ED72014-172-Wulf-Pack-vol.2-Fw-190/62563

As previously, the decal sheets are printed by industry leader, Cartograf of Italy, which ensures top printing quality and ease of application. These are complemented by instructions that differ from the plain market standard. What you get are essentially high quality posters with accurate and inspiring illustrations. Each subject is presented on an A4-sized sheet, with large side aircraft profiles printed on the front, and the remaining artwork, reference photos and all necessary information laid out on the rear side. This way you not only get some cool decals for your model kit, but also attractive posters to adorn your man cave, at the same time!
