Wayne and Jan, great purchases my bros.I can't wait some pics of their assembling.

BTW Jan concerning paints ,have you thought about Gunze Sangyo acrylics?
 
Yes they are, but some standard Gunze paints smell a bit.But these new acrylic ones are better.But You can look around for Testors/ModelMaster acrylics aswell.Always you can order some of Pactra paints.
 
Well, I finally gone and done it. I've ordered a compressor, which should arrive tomorrow or Monday! Never heard of the make, and it's only a basic mini-compressor, but at £42, what the hell? Got to be better than those tiresome cans, and, as I only use my airbrushes for overall single colour/varnish, or mottle, and then rarely, if it only lasts a year it will have paid for itself. I'll let you know how it performs when I've used it a couple of times.
 
Here are the last 2 bundles I got from UPS.

Nice Wayne. Is the kit a 'new tool', or an adaptation of the old 190A8?
I've still got the latter, which I built THIRTY years ago this month, when I was still in the forces! It's a bit basic by todays standards, but still good, and allows a lot of scratch-build additions. I quite fancy doing another, as one of Priller's two 'Black 13' ships in June '44. (Something about Priller's A/C that people get wrong sometimes, not knowing he used two. One had a yellow rudder, the other had a mottled rudder, and a different shaped figure '13'.)
 
Yeah, the ones I mean are noted as A7's on the Bundesarchiv photos. One with the 'Jutta' playing-card badge, one without. I'll have to check my sources before I commit. I think I'm right in saying that Hasethingybob do a number of kits of the 190A series, in 1/32, all based on the same moulds?
BTW, the photos' I mentioned above, are shown in 'Fighters Defending the Reich', Bryan Philpott, PSL, 1978-1980. Good little book.
 

First of the new 190A-8 series was released in 2004 then there have been the variations...

Your source may be a bit dated now, more likely A-8's, Caldwell's JG26 war diary certainly quotes A-8's...
