When the FW190 first appeared in the skies over France in 1941, it proved to be a shock to the RAF, totally outclassing the Spitfire Mk V. The radial-engine fighter was totally at odds with European thinking of the time, radials were considered to be inferior to liquid-cooled “in-line” engines due to excess drag, the FW190 quickly made engineers re-think this idea. When an FW190 accidentally landed in England by a rather lost Luftwaffe pilot, British engineers, and test pilots were given the chance to study it extensively. The 190 was found to be highly advanced in many respects and many of its features were to find their way into later Allied aircraft.
This great-looking FW190 is made from tough EPO foam and is superbly finished in the color scheme of an A-4 belonging to JG2 “Richthofen” (Jagdgeschwader 2), exactly WkNr734 of the second group that was based in Tricqueville, France in 1943. The main wing is carbon reinforced and is easily removable for transportation. The wing features navigation lights and split flaps and all servos have been pre-installed plus servoless retracts with undercarriage doors. The brushless outrunner motor, ESC, and servos have also been pre-installed into the fuselage, as has the sequencer to operate the undercarriage doors. The hinged battery hatch makes it easy to install the 4S battery. Upfront, the superb scale spinner comes with a realistic cooling fan giving the plane a more authentic look.
This superb-looking FW190 is a joy to fly, it has tons of presence and a nice scale outline, it is well designed and robustly constructed, looking and flying like a much larger and much more expensive warbird. With its undoubted quality, superb flying characteristics, scale looks, robustness, and a great price, this lovely FW190 should be a welcome addition to any Warbird enthusiast’s hanger!
