This is a Balsa-Wood Model. Scale: 1/16. Wing Span: 25 3/4" Although it had a radial engine, the German Focke-Wulf Fw-109 was one of the most beautifully proportioned fighters of World War 2. The pride of Marshall Goering, the 190 maintained superiority over the British Spitfire 5 for almost two years because it could out fly its opponent on nearly every count. Approximately 20, 000 Focke-Wulf?s were produced and, in various versions, were used as day and night fighters, fighter-bombers and in ground attack roles.

Detailed 1/48 scale model kit of the Focke-Wulf Fw190, a World War II single-seat, single-engine fighter of the German Luftwaffe. The Fw190 is generally considered by historians as one of the best fighters of its generation. Often called the "Butcher-bird" by Allied pilots, the 190 was a fighter aircraft that inspired both fear and respect by those who encountered it in combat. Originally developed by Kurt Tank to serve as backup for the highly successful Messerschmitt Bf109, the Focke-Wulf 190 quickly proved itself as a highly capable frontline fighter aircraft, and before long, thousands of Fw190s were fighting alongside Messerschmitt 109s over skies of Europe. Over 20, 000 Focke-Wulf 190 of all variants were produced by Germany in the Second World War, and some of the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter aces in World War II flew the Fw190. The A Series Fw190 was the original short-nose design, and the type was fitted with a variety of BMW radial engines and armed with four machine guns (two fuselage-mounted & two wing-root mounted) and two wing-mounted 20 mm cannons. Some 6, 000 ground attack variants of the Fw190 (the F and G models) were also produced and utilized with success by the Luftwaffe, a testament to the type's versatility. The A-4 model Fw190 was equipped with the same engine (BMW 801 D-2 radial) and basic armament as the A-3, but with updated radio gear and under-wing bomb racks, which could be fitted with a variety of bombs, heavy cannons, and cameras for reconnaissance missions. This model kit comes with Luftwaffe marking for two different Fw190s: JG54 Kommodore Major Hannes Trautloft winter 1942-43 Russia (winter camouflage) and JG54 Kommodore Major Hubertus von Bonin 1943 Estonia. Model Length: 184mm, Model Width: 218mm; 89 pieces total.

This book deals with the development history and testing of this fighter aircraft and production of the early variants of the Fw 190 A. An interesting comparison between the Bf 109 and the Fw 190 shows the strengths and weaknesses of the two aircraft, and authentic reports by former test pilots of Focke-Wulf and the Rechlin Test Station document the aircrafts performance. Also covered are the later torpedo-carrier and reconnaissance versions of the Fw 190. Together with the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 formed the standard equipment of the German fighter arm in the Second World War and today is considered one of the most capable fighters of that period. Initial flight trials in 1939 revealed a number of shortcomings, nevertheless the basic concept of the Fw 190 proved extremely successful. In contrast to the Bf 109, which was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-vee engine, in developing the Fw 190 Prof. Kurt Tank selected the BMW 801, an air-cooled radial engine that was less sensitive to battle damage. The broad-track undercarriage also gave the Focke-Wulf fighter much superior takeoff and landing characteristics. The Fw 190 entered quantity production by Focke-Wulf and license manufacturers Fieseler, AGO and Arado in 1941. It proved an immediate success in combat operations in 1942, proving itself superior to the Spitfire in some respects. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings, many of which have not been published before, this book provides both aircraft enthusiasts and modelers with a wealth of information, and fills a gap in the history of aircraft design in Germany.

Fw 190 Defense of the Reich Aces (Aircraft of the Aces) Osprey Publishing Renowned aviation author and artist, John Weal, presents the last volume of Fw 190 Aces not previously covered in the Aircraft of the Aces series. From mid-1942 until the end of the war, German fighter pilots were deployed in the defence of the homeland in an effort to halt the near-constant bombing raids by Britain and America. This book tells their story, from the moment when the Luftwaffe began to retreat to the dying

Detailed 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the Focke-Wulf 190D-9, a World War II single-engine fighter of the German Luftwaffe. Nicknamed "Dora 9" by Luftwaffe pilots and called "Butcher-bird" by Allied pilots, the D Series Focke-Wulf 190 inspired both fear and respect by all who encountered it in combat. The FW-190 D embodied all of the features of a great fighter aircraft: speed, agility, and survivability. The D Series Fw190 was equipped with a round shaped liquid-cooled in-line "Jumo" engine with a circular radiator mounted in front, whereas the A Series 190s were fitted with a variety of air-cooled BMW radial engines. The in-line "Jumo" engine offered improved performance at high altitudes and gave the D-Series Fw190 its distinctive long nose and extended aft fuselage to counter-balance the added weight of the Jumo engine. The combination of a high performance bomber engine and a proven fighter airframe made the Fw190D one of the most capable fighter aircraft of World War II. This beautifully detailed 1/48 scale model kit features: Detailed cockpit. Optional open or closed canopy with two types of canopy included. Optional open or closed cowl flaps. Rotating propeller. One pilot figure included. Decals with 3 sets of marking included.

About this Model: The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger was a German single-seat, single-radial engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s. It was used by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War in a variety of roles. Like the Bf 109, the Fw 190 was employed as a "workhorse", and proved suitable for a wide variety of roles, including air superiority fighter, strike fighter, ground-attack aircraft, escort fighter, and operated with less success as a night fighter.

This 1/48 scale assembly kit by Hasegawa depicts the Fw190A-8 variant, the most produced version of the Fw190. The Fw190 A-8's most significant improvements over previous production model 190s include increased internal fuel capacity and improved armament (four wing mounted Mauser MG-151 20mm cannons and two nose mounted Rheinmetall MG-131 13mm machine guns). Although the added weight due to increased armament and fuel load made the 190A-8 a cumbersome fighter, as a bomber interceptor, the Fw190A-8 was a truly exceptional and a fearsome foe against Allied bombers during the Second World War. This model kit comes with Luftwaffe marking for two different Fw190s: 5.(Sturm)/JG300 UnterOffizier Ernst Schroder "Red 19" Nov., 1944 Germany and JG2 Kommodore Major Kurt Buhligen June 1944 France.
