Features
Development of the FW190 series began in the Autumn of 1937, under a contract issued by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (Air Ministry) for a single-seat fighter to supplement the Messerschmitt Bf109. Two proposals were submitted by Kurt Tank, the technical director of the Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau (aircraft factory). The proposal using the then-new BMW 801 air-cooled radial engine was chosen. This tough and powerful engine was placed in a robust airframe and provided superb handling, well-balanced control, and brisk acceleration. It entered service in 1941, flying alongside the Bf 109 and it soon took control of air superiority over the English Channel. Establishing itself as a mainstay fighter of the Luftwaffe, it outperformed the contemporary Spitfire Mk. V's in almost every respect and maintained this advantage until the arrival of the Spitfire IX in July 1942.
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit depicting the famed German Bf109, and specifically the A-3 variant that first appeared in the middle stages of WWII. From the powerful-looking nose section to the landing gear, the form of the aircraft is captured in style.
Comes with three marking options to choose between:
-8/JG2 based in France during 1942
-III/JG2 flown by Commander Hptm. Hans Hahn in France 1942
-Stab./JG26 flown by Hptm. Wilhelm Gath in France 1943.
Note: Assembly required. Paint/glue not included.
