Academy 12480 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 Wurger "Butcher Bird" Plastic Model Kit
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 Wurger (Butcher Bird), was the last production version of the Fw 190 series with a radial engine. In 1944 over 1300 of these aircraft were built, more than any other Fw 190 version.
The engine was an MW-50 boosted, (methanol-water), twin row, fourteen cylinder, BMW 801 D-2. This engine combination produced 1700 h.p. for take-off and up to 1440 h.p. at 18,700 feet. Normal armament was made up of two MG 151 cannons in each wing and two MG 131 cannons in the fuselage, however, a common addition to this was a WB 151/20 gun pack mounted under each wing. When an Fw 190A-8 was fitted with these gun packs they were redesignated as Fw 190A-8/R-1.
The decals in this kit are for an Fw 190A-8 of the ¥²/JG "Grun Herz".
