Focke-Wulf Fw 190A Diecast Model
Luftwaffe 8./JG 26 Schlageter, "Black 7", Karl Borris, March 1942

1:72 Scale   Length   Width
Focke-Wulf Fw 190A   4.75"   5.75"

One of the most distinctive German fighters of WWII has to be the Focke Wulf 190A. Powered by a BMW 801D engine producing 1,800 hp, the A-3 version was capable of flying at 400mph plus. This Focke Wulf 190 is known as 'Black 7', also an A-3 variant. This fighter belongs to the Staffelkapitan of 8.JG 26, which was based at Wevelghem in March 1942. This particular plane was flown by the fighter ace Oberleutnant Karl Borris. It is finished in an accurate depiction of 'Black 7's camouflage scheme.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A

Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and maneuverable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora."

The mold for the Fw 190 also allows for both the early war "A" model and late war long-nose "D" model to be produced, with separate castings for each fuselage. The paint schemes are expertly airbrushed to bring out the subtleties of the panel lines, rivets, control surface detail and trim tabs. Pad-printed unit markings and finely detailed placards complete this historically accurate model. The elevators and rudder are hinged and movable, which is uncommon in 1:72 scale. The sliding canopy opens to reveal a fully detailed cockpit with pad-printed instruments and side panels.
