Alfa Model Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8
|
The Fw 190F series was the purely close support/attack modification of the basic machine, while the Fw 190Gs were the fighter-bomber versions of longer range.
The decal set enables you to build the model of a Fw 190A-8 that belonged to the JG 10, based in autumn 1944 in Parchim, North Germany (see the scheme on the box cover) or a Fw 190A-7, one of machines flown in April 1944 by Major Heinz Bär, commander of the II/JG 1 (colour side view).
Technical data:
- Wing span: 850 mm
- Length: 730 mm
- Wing area: 12,0 dm2
- El. motor: (Not Included) series 280, 300, 330, MPJ, Mega, AXI AC
- Weight: max. 440 g
- Controls: Elevator, ailerons, motor (Radio Not Included)

Features:
- The semi scale model is almost finished; you only have to apply decals, install the propulsion unit and the RC equipment. You can utilise the kit's box as the transport and storage container for the finished model.
- The scale model is moulded from the extruded polystyrene foam (EPSF) with a tougher surface layer, making the model less prone to surface damage. Adding to that, all exposed surfaces are reinforced with plastic covers. Thanks to the ratio of the all-up weight and of the strength of the material used the model is quite compact, this feature reducing the danger of damage in normal operation substantially, to almost negligible level.
- When designing this model a maximum attention was devoted to its aerodynamic layout (e.g. the semi-symmetrical wing section, the symmetrical horizontal tail section), ensuring high aerodynamic finesse, with the resulting wide band of operational speeds and docile flying characteristics typical for large models.
- The range of proven power units offered enables to build a scale model possessing a flight performance corresponding to that of the best slow flyers, as well as to the fully aerobatic models.
- To control the model you need the RC equipment suitable for controlling the slow-flyers ﾖ it would enable you to fly majority of the aerobatic figures (with the possible exception of those that require the rudder control).
- One of the decisive factors, affecting the flight performance and behaviour of the model, is its weight. Due to the multitude of possible combinations of the RC equipment, motors and power sources (battery packs) it is impossible to exactly state the final weight. In any case, the weight of the model without the battery pack should not exceed 320 grams. With a double-cell LiPol 1500mAh battery would probably weigh in at 380 grams, with the six-cell 500mAh NiCd pack about 420 grams. The specified maximum weight should in no case be exceeded ﾖ the flight behaviour of heavier models deteriorates accordingly.
