This model features the distinctive late war camouflage of Hauptmann Paul-Heinrich Dähne. It features a red band on the rear of the fuselage as used by JG1 while defending the reich. The Fw190 was a fighter that played a vital role as Germany desperately tried to stem the tide of the advancing Russian and Allied forces that were crushing it from two directions. Early in 1945 there was an influx of Fw190s at the Eastern Front tasked with slowing the inexorable Russian advance. One such fighter was the "Black Double Chevron" Fw190A-8 flown by Hauptmann Paul-Heinrich Dähne, Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 1. Dähne was credited with over 100 wartime 'victories' before being shot down himself on 24 April 1945.
Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and maneuverable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora." © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
The mold for the Fw 190 also allows for both the early war "A" model and late war long-nose "D" model to be produced, with separate castings for each fuselage. The paint schemes are expertly airbrushed to bring out the subtleties of the panel lines, rivets, control surface detail and trim tabs. Pad-printed unit markings and finely detailed placards complete this historically accurate model. The elevators and rudder are hinged and movable, which is uncommon in 1:72 scale. The sliding canopy opens to reveal a fully detailed cockpit with pad-printed instruments and side panels.
