HISTORY ASPECTS -
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-3 was a key variant of one of Germany’s most formidable s of World II. Introduced in early 1942, the A-3 version featured improved armament, armor protection, and range over its predecessors, making it highly effective in both air superiority and ground roles. Powered by the robust BMW 801D-2 radial engine, the Fw 190A-3 combined speed, firepower, and maneuverability, allowing it to challenge Allied aircraft on equal or superior terms across multiple theaters.
“Black 13” of 8./JG 2 “Richthofen” was one of many Fw 190A-3s stationed in occupied France in 1943. Jagdgeschwader 2 was named in honor of the famous World I ace Manfred von Richthofen, the “Red Baron.” Operating along the Western Front, JG 2 was tasked with intercepting RAF bombers and escort s during the escalating Allied air campaign. “Black 13” participated in daily combat missions over the English Channel and northern France, often clashing with Spitfires, Typhoons, and B-17s during the RAF’s and USAAF’s increasing raids on German targets in occupied territory.
Throughout 1943, the Luftwaffe faced growing pressure as Allied bombing intensified. Fw 190 pilots of JG 2 adapted by flying more aggressive interception tactics and by modifying aircraft loadouts for high-altitude defense. Despite facing overwhelming odds and increasing numbers of long-range Allied s, the Fw 190A-3 maintained a fearsome reputation. Aircraft like “Black 13” represented the peak of Luftwaffe capability during a period of transition, as the Allies gained both momentum and numerical superiority in the air over Europe.
This 1 - 72 scale model with authentic unit markings, finely detailed panel lines, and a historically accurate camouflage scheme, it’s a standout addition to any World II aviation collection—perfect for collectors and history buffs who appreciate the legacy of Germany’s premier time .
