Well,

Since the Dragon '190A-7 decided to rub me the wrong way, AGAIN, I decided to see what the Hasegawa '190A-3 is like. Can't be any worse can it?

Good start Jan!...little bit of history on this aircraft later....

Ok Black 13 suffered engine failure on the 4th Feb 1943, the unknown pilot bailed out and the aircraft was lost.....however earlier in its career during late June 1942 it was flown for a short time by Oberleutnant Siegfried Schnell the Staffel Kapitan of 9/JG 2. It was marked Yellow 4 + I carried Schnells victory tally of 65 kills on a yellow Rudder consisting of the number 40 with Knights Cross and Ribbon and 25 further white victory bars with British roundels marked on each. The 65th victory was recorded on the 26th June 1942.

Good stuff O' Enlighted One! Thanks!
