ESM's 83" IMAA LEGAL FOCKE WULF FW-190 D9 , bring on a great Pursuit Germany Fighter of WWII !!!
History:
The Focke Wulf FW-190 entered in service in 1941, and quickly became one the finest fighter aircraft of its time. More than 20 000 saw service in WWII, and it was still rolling off the production lines until the very last days of the war. As it was deployed to frontline units in early 1941, the allies were completely unaware of the Luftwaffe's new aircraft, and pilots reporting contact with the FW-190 were chalked up as engagements with Curtiss P-36 Mohawks, which the Luftwaffe had captured from the French. The british quickly realized the error as the FW-190 completely outclassed the Spitfire Mk. V's in every meaningful category except turning radius. As the FW-190 began to reclaim air superiority over the channel from the RAF, the british planned a raid across the channel by commandos to try and snatch an FW-190 for evaluation. This was scrapped after Armin Faber from Jagdgeschwader 2 accidentally landed at a british airfield.
Information gleaned from the capture was a direct influence on the Hawker Tempest II design, and also forced the rapid development of the more powerful Spitfire Mk. IX.
In the first mass engagement, FW-190's engaged allied air assets performing CAP to the Dieppe landings. The RAF committed over 300 aircraft, mostly Spitfire mk.V's, along with six squadrons of Mk. IX's, and some Mustangs and Typhoons. The 125 FW-190's of JG2 & JG 26 inflicted 106 kills of allied aircraft for the loss of 25.
The FW-190 went on to see service in all theaters, and saw many aces behind the controls. Otto Kittel (267 kills) and W Nowotny (255 kills) both number in the highest scoring aces of all time. The FW-190 remains one of the most interesting and beautiful aircraft of its era.
About This Model :
An unbelievable rendition of the iconic WW2 German fighter aircraft. Complete with scale features such gun blisters and scale tailwheel and retracts
As with most of our scale designs the D9 consists of a high quality moulded fuselage complete with panel line and rivet detail. The wings and tailplane parts are of a built-up construction for lightness and strength, with a bespoke covering designed specifically to accept paint without risk of flaking or wrinkling
The completed airframe is sprayed with accurate RAL colours with all decals pre-applied. Finally the surface is coated with a matt seal to keep the model looking like new for longer and stop the film and decals from lifting.
Many of our aircraft have additional retract sets available that include everything needed for a professional setup. Or if you prefer you can use the standard fixed undercarriage as supplied in the kit with the option to always upgrade later.
( Realistic Scale Retract System )
You won't find a better, more accurate 50cc sized ARTF anywhere. The same could be said for all of our scale models.
Own the one model you've always promised yourself!
