Scale: 1/72
Brand: ACADEMY
Item # 2120

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 Wurger (Butcher Bird), was the last
production version of the Fw 190 series with a radial engine. In
1944 over 1300 of these aircraft were built, more than any other
Fw 190 version.

The engine was an MW-50 boosted, (methanol-water), twin row,
fourteen cylinder, BMW 801 D-2. This engine combination produced
1700 h.p. for take-off and up to 1440 h.p. at 18,700 feet. Normal

armament was made up of two MG 151 cannons in each wing and two
MG 131 cannons in the fuselage, however, a common addition to
this was a WB 151/20 gun pack mounted under each wing. When an Fw

190A-8 was fitted with these gun packs they were redesignated as
Fw 190A-8/R-1.

The decals in this kit are for an Fw 190A-8 of the ¥²/JG "Grun
Herz".
