Focke Wulf FW190-A8
Unpainted kit set, 53 parts, 125 mm long
First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf Fw190 proved to be an immediate threat to RAF fighters when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire V then in service. This A-8 version was the most numerous and heavily armed variant, which entered service in 1944, as an attempt to stop the Allied daylight raids. However, by then the new Allied fighters had begun to outclass it.
