Eric, unless you have some new info, I'm inclined to still go with the 4 wing cannon, from our previous discussion of probability.
The Fw 190A-9 of Siegfried Baer, 5.Staffel, II./JG301, in Detail....

Good stuff Wayne 
Thanks Guys..
Made a little more progress...
fitted the MG151 Access hatch sections to the lower wing, I really don't like the way Hasegawa do these areas, it creates an area that needs to be sanded, filled and sanded to get rid of the join lines.....as they never fit perfectly!!
Also fitted the undercarriage bay components as well.

with alex wayne!
Thanks Guys..
And the Cowl has now had the front edges sanded smooth as well as the joined section below the bulge.
Again, hasegawa provide an assembly line that requires attention, the join line is about 1mm below the hinge line rather than right on the edge hinge line, so no matter how well you line up the parts there will always be a join that requires sanding and a little bit of filling...
