Thanks, I've seen those but the jest of this build calls for Post War birds. In 1945 they began to paint them in the green and that's what I want to do. Not another German Fw with different stinces on the wing. I am hoping and looking to find a color photo (I know) of the green bird.

OK I'm getting ready to start this little gem. I did end up keeping the F-8 and got my money (not shipping) back as well and I picked this one up at Kings for $15.
I would ask to modify my build by the addition of an eduard interior update kit though. Please let me know if any objections.

Nice kit! Is that pictorial advertising on the inside of the box? I've never seen that before.

So it looks like I'll be out of hock for a while. I passed my CDL today (Commercial Drivers License) and will be heading out to truck driving school soon. Then I'll be driving for ten days on, two days off. Gotta figure how to take my hobby on the road.

Hello there! It seems that this information could be useful to this thread. I know there are some other threads about the Turkish AF Fw 190Aa-3s but I think it is most relevant to here even though the thread is almost four years old.
There is an online monthly magazine published by defense industry in Turkey both in English and Turkish, C4 Defence. I found this article written by two TAF experts on the subject. Here's the link: C4 Defence IssueIssue 43 . Please go to the page 46-47 for the beginning of the article. What interested me was the color profiles on the pages 52-53 & 54-55. I wonder what you all think about those color combinations.
I also found a photograph of the #37 on the second set of profiles on p. 55, which seems to support their interpretation (pilot Vahdet Gürol made an emergency landing in this FW-190 Aa-3 No. 4137 on Jan. 8, 1945). You can see the three different color sets at the tail, the body and the cowling. It would be an interesting model. Here it is:
