Manufacturer Description
This is a plastic 1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw-190 A3 Airplane from Tamiya.
When the first Fw190's appeared in 1941 they were a serious threat to RAF air
superiority in the skies over occupied France. Their 1700HP BMW801 radial
engine and superb maneuverability gave them a performance edge that was not
challenged until the RAF started receiving the improved Spitfire Mk IX. The
Tamiya Fw190 A-3 builds up into a highly detailed 1/48th scale replica and
includes high quality water activated decals for three aircraft.
FEATURES:
Highly detailed 1/48th scale plastic kit for static display.
Approximately 50 parts in medium grey and clear with fine recessed
panel lines.
Detailed engine and wheel well.
Multi-part canopy may be posed open or closed.
Rotating propellor: the propellor plugs into a polythene bushing
which allows adding it late in assembly so there is less chance of
breakage.
Highly detailed cockpit with accurate instrument panel, seat, control
stick and rudder pedals, bulkheads, and sculpted pilot figure.
Detailed pictorial instructions with separate sheet for color
details.
