First Look
Lifelike Decals from Japan turns out some colorful and nicely printed subjects. In this set, we have four distinctive Fw 190 fighters, three of the four being the personal aircraft of super ace Hermann Graf while he commanded the special school in France. The distinctive pattern on the cowling will be familiar with Focke Wulf fans, but this is the first time I've seen the details of Grafs two different aircraft, and the color changes to his second aircraft when it was converted to a U7. Also included is another distinctive A-8 which will be familiar to Focke Wulf fans. Four very colorful aircraft...
