This is the Focke Wulf Fw 190A-7 Neptune of Klaus Bretschneider, 6./JG 300, Rheine Germany, March 1944, built from the Eduard kit.
Klaus Bretschneider shot down 34 enemy aircraft; 14 RAF bombers at night, and 20 day-victories including 17 USAAF four engine bombers. He was shot down and killed in December 1944.
The Neptune radar aerials on this model were made from insect mounting pins. Markings are from EagleCals #89.
Very nice- the assortment of aerials gives it an interesting look.
Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks Pat, with the pins arranged like that it was easy to get a three-for-one deal if I wasn’t paying attention!

‘Porcupines’ they were indeed – and I no idea there were such things as ‘insect-mounting pins’ ! Nice work as usual!
