On the 14th October 1943 Nowotny became the first Luftwaffe pilot to achieve two hundred and fifty kills and was subsequently honoured with the Diamonds to the Oak Leaves with Swords of his Knights Cross. He flew this Fw 190A whilst serving as Staffelkapitan of 1./JG54 in the winter of 1942-43. A well documented machine, in stark contrast to the majority of the anonymous and unidentifiable Fw 190s flown on the Eastern Front by all and sundry (there were few aircraft directly attached to specific pilots), this is the aircraft that Nowotny scored his Staffers three hundredth victory of the war. The toned down white fuselage cross was viewed as an unnecessary precaution on an otherwise white winter camouflaged A-4. The Corgi "Warbirds" range presents affordable, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft. Corgi "Warbirds" diecast airplanes feature: - Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
- Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
- Pad printed markings that won't fade or peel like decals.
- Permanently retracted landing gear.
- Presention stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
- No pilot figures.
