The Fw 190 is widely regarded as Germany's best fighter aircraft of World War II. Its appearance in the skies over France in early 1941 was a rude shock to the Allies, as it was clearly superior to any other plane. For nearly a year, until the debut of the Spitfire IX, the Fw 190 was the unmatched champion of the air war.
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." © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Witty's 1:72 scale Fw 190 is a beautiful model at an affordable price. The solid diecast metal wing has hand-painted trim-tab detail, with machine gun details on the leading edge and structural details that can be viewed inside the wheel wells. There is subtle panel and rivet detail on the surface of the model, and other fine details include an opening canopy, pilot figure, ventral-mounted ADF navigational antenna and solid metal horizontal stabilizers with simulated fabric elevators. Variants in this series include the original 190A and the 190D. Each release includes a display stand with details such as the aircraft's name, operator or type.
