Focke-Wulf Fw 190 (Osprey Modelling Manuals 20)

Rating:
Summary: Dreadful..
Review: a very anorexic volume that comprises a short three page (!)introduction on the history of one of the Jagdwaffe's best fighter aircraft, some walk-around pics of the Champlin Fighter museum's Dora, a few indifferent profiles and a series of model build projects making up the bulk of the 64 pages.... In the modelling chapters Bretscheider's 'red 1' (with spurious red engine cowling and cooling fan blades) and Walther Dahl's 'blue 13' ( here with green spinner!) are featured...the quality of the build ruined by totally erroneous camo & markings..not to mention the 'sit' problems sadly evident. It is obvious that the model builders have little appreciation for the Fw 190 as an aircraft..oh and the bibliography only features references to other Osprey works....I really do not know how Coughlin could have put his name to this as his Osprey Luftwaffe fighters book is not bad at all..Buy any other Fw 190 book EXCEPT this one if looking for a decent reference...I want my money back..!!!
