Zoukei Mura 1/32 Scale Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-4 Model Kit

The true appearance of the Fw 190, which has been thoroughly researched and redesigned over a long period of time, is now at its finest. The A-4 type Short nose Type equipped with an air-cooled engine, which is the completed form of the initial silhouette type before the engine mount extension, is thoroughly reproduced. Pay attention to the delicately changing cross section from the nose to the side of the fuselage and the exquisite surface composition that covers it.

Check out the “BMW 801” engine equipped with Command Gelate, which was a pioneer in engine control for modern aircraft! A mechanism that distributes the load to the firewall and longitudinal members, which are the main structure of the fuselage, by connecting the exhaust pipe to the firewall through a truss-shaped strut and the exhaust pipe that has a collective exhaust at only one place under the nose. The true value of SWS is that you can feel the airflow from the aircraft structure and the engine while assembling the engine rack.

The colours and markings are the summer camouflage and winter camouflage of Corporal Karl-Heinz Cordes’ aircraft “White 3”, which features the green heart that is the JG54 emblem and the black eagle that is the I./JG54 emblem, as well as the winter camouflage of the JG54 flight. Adopts three types of “White 4” depicting the team mark demon. Colour & marking

HISTORY

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190, nicknamed Würger (Shrike) is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank at Focke-Wulf in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II. Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Fw 190 became the backbone of the Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force) of the Luftwaffe. The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and to a lesser degree, night fighter.

The Fw 190A started flying operationally over France in August 1941 and quickly proved superior in all but turn radius to the Spitfire Mk. V, the main front-line fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF), particularly at low and medium altitudes.[5] The 190 maintained superiority over Allied fighters until the introduction of the improved Spitfire Mk. IX. In November/December 1942, the Fw 190 made its air combat debut on the Eastern Front, finding much success in fighter wings and specialised ground attack units (Schlachtgeschwader – Battle Wings or Strike Wings) from October 1943.
