Description

The Fw.190 is one of the most 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.

This new FW.190 D-15 is a ‘whatif’ variant fitted with an BT bombentorpedo, a late war torpedo designed to replace conventional torpedoes. These torpedoes were designed to be dropped by a fast bomber at a range of 2,800 metres from an enemy ship. They were reportedly used against the bridges at Remagen but failed to detonate.

Our 1/30 scale FW.190 is painted in a striking Wellenmuster camouflage pattern often used by Luftwaffe units operating over coastal areas on anti shipping duties.
