1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8/F-8

Airfix has announced a welcome re-release:

Flying in at a formidable pace, the Focke-Wulf Fw190 sees a refresh for the 2025 Airfix line-up!

Landing in at a Skill Level 2, the Airfix 1:72 scale Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8/F-8 is brought back to the range with two fresh new schemes to choose from and is the second series two kit within its lifetime.

Once built, the kit measures a total wingspan of 145mm and 125mm in length and contains 74 parts.

 
First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf Fw190 was an immediate threat to RAF fighters when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire V then in service.

The F-8 was the ground-attack version and differed primarily in its lack of outboard cannons. Various combinations of underwing weapons were fitted, but the most common was one centreline bomb and four small bombs on the wings.

The A-8 version was the most numerous, heavily armed variant and entered service in 1944 in an attempt to stop Allied daylight raids. By then, however, the new Allied fighters had begun to outclass it.

Available now from Airfix, online and from hobby shops worldwide.
