FW190 A5 vs A8

[UKscalemodeller]

I'm not that knowledgeable on catcher birds so here is a question for those of you who are.

What are the differences in outward appearance between an Fw190A-8 and an A-5

Basically could I get away with getting an A8 and pass it off as an A5?

thanks in advance

this link should help but i would say not. There were loads differences but you might be able to scratch build them with your skills
hope this helps lol

Thanks Nige, I may have found a decent set of A-8 decals now.

No problem mate if it was 1:48 I think I might have some spares some where if you want them.

Thanks for the offer Nige but it's for the airfix 1/72

The 1st set mate would be the one I'd go for.

Not a prob mate
