The set includes as many as 23 precisely cast resin parts and a sheet of photo-etched elements, allowing you to recreate the details of the BMW 801 engine with unprecedented accuracy.

Historical context and use

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 was one of the most important Luftwaffe fighters during World War II. Used by Germany, it appeared on European fronts from 1944 and was distinguished by its robust construction and extremely powerful, air-cooled BMW 801 engine. This aircraft participated, among others, in battles over Normandy and in the defense of the Reich against Allied bombing raids. Equipping the model with a detailed engine replica allows you to depict service scenes or dioramas showing the engine cowling open—in line with historical accuracy.
