Eduard has released a new ProfiPACK edition Fw 190A-8 model in 1/48 scale.
The Fw 190A-8 was a late-war, refined A-series variant that combined a powerful engine with heavy armament. It typically carried a Junkers Jumo 213-series engine with emergency boost, giving strong climb and acceleration at low to medium altitudes and top speeds in the mid-400 mph range, with a service ceiling of roughly 39,000 ft and useful range for interception and escort duties. Armament commonly included 2 x 13 mm MG 131 machine guns and 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons, with some configurations adapted for fighter-bomber roles carrying bombs or rockets under the wings or fuselage. Rugged construction, good cockpit visibility, and a wide-track undercarriage made it a stable gun platform and durable in combat, allowing it to serve as a versatile fighter and ground-attack aircraft despite growing late-war shortages and increasing Allied air superiority.
The new kit (82147) includes Eduard plastic parts and decals, pre-painted PE parts, a painting mask and marking options for five aircraft.
