Description
The Fw 190 is one of the iconic aircraft of all time and along with the Messerschmitt Bf 109, was the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force during WW2. Designed by Kurt Tank the Fw. 190 entered service in 1941 and quickly proved itself superior to the RAF’s Spitfire MK V in virtually every aspect.
The Fw 190 was upgraded throughout its service during WW2 and was liked by its pilots for its ruggedness and ability to land on the rough airstrips, which were often found on the Russian front. Not only was the Fw. 190 used as a day fighter, but saw service as a night and ground attack fighter and towards the end of the war it was also utilized to carry the Mistel, a radio controlled Junkers Ju. 88 packed with explosives which was often used to destroy bridges.
Our latest 1/30 scale hand carved Mahogany model comes in the markings of ‘Red 11’ from JG 300 which flew in the defence of the Reich and was instantly recognizable by the snake pattern that adorned the side of it. All figures are shown for scale comparison purposes and are not included.
