1/48 Tamiya Fw 190F8

This is Tamiya's Fw180F8 in the markings of the NASM exhibit.  It is out of the box except that the True Details seat was used to save time in making the seat belts myself.  The kit was a breeze to build.  One thing I noticed by looking at the picture was the canopy appears raised over the cockpit coaming.  This has since been corrected.  My reference was the Airpower magazine that featured the article of the restoration of the actual machine.
