Eduard 1:48 Focke Wulf Fw-190 A-5 LIGHT FIGHTER ProfiPACK

The kit proposed by Eduard company includes a plastic model kit of Polish fighter in 1:48 scale.

Focke Wulf Fw-190 is a single-seater and single-engine German fighter from the times of the Second World War. Produced in over 20,000 copies, including about 6,000 in the assault-bomber version. The aircraft was created as a safeguard in case it turned out that other countries fighters are better than the Messerschmitt Bf-109. The fighter was designed by Kurt Tank, who developed a design of a small fighter with a compact design with an 18 cylinder, air-cooled, BMW 139 star engine. Due to the anticipated specificity of war production, Professor Tankas team constructed a machine that was easy to manufacture to the point that it could be built by factories which have not any experience in the construction of aircraft.

Version A is a typical fighter designed for fighting at small to medium heights up to a ceiling of 7,600 meters. It was produced in versions A-1 to A-10 differing from each other by some improvements, weaponry, or used construction elements, or finally various engines. The most widely produced versions were A-3 and A-8, with mounted bomb ejector, respectively 2,000 and 1384 pieces produced until the end of war.
