Focke - Wulf FW - 190F - 8 – the German fighter

The Focke-Wulf FW-190 was, next to the Messerschmitt Bf-109, one of the most widely used German fighters of World War II. Design began in 1938, the first prototype took off in June 1939. Serial fighters FW - 190A - 1 began to be supplied to units in July 1941 and immediately became a serious headache for the Allies. In total more than 20,000 copies of this plane in many versions were produced. In 1942 the Luftwaffe decided, that the FW-190 needed to be adapted to perform the functions of a strike aircraft. This is how the version FW - 190F was born, which was based on the FW - 190A – 4 version planer. The aircraft gained additional armor to protect against fire from the ground, and due to the increased weight, the armament was reduced. Version F-8 began to be supplied to units in the autumn of 1944 and was built on the basis of version A - 8 with a BMW 801D-2 engine, adapted for flights at low altitudes.

A simple, but perfectly graphically and structurally designed model, which represents the plane of the III./S.G.3 group, based in the Curonian Peninsula at the end of the war, from where it escaped on May 3, 1945 together with two other planes of this unit. It is intended for modelers of all experience, so a version without a cockpit interior and with an included chassis is provided, which, under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, will perfectly stick even a beginner and modeler with little experience.
