[About the actual machine]
--Along with Messerschmitt, the Focke-Wulf Fw190 played an active role throughout the war as the main fighter of the German army in World War II.
――The aircraft designed by Dr. Kurt Tank is excellent not only in its performance but also in productivity, maintainability, sturdiness and expandability, and of course it was active throughout the war, and many derivative types were made.
――Among them, the A5 type is a type in which the engine mounting position is advanced by 15 cm in order to optimize the balance of the center of gravity that has collapsed due to the continuous improvement.
--The engine is equipped with an air-cooled BMW star-shaped 14-cylinder 801D2.
――It is said that more than 700 A5 models have been produced since the end of 1942.
――However, it seems that there were few standard types, such as night combat bomber type and reconnaissance aircraft type.
――One of such variants was the Fw190A5 / U14, an anti-ship attack aircraft type with a torpedo mounted on the underside of the aircraft.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Focke-Wulf Fw190, the main fighter of the German army, on a 1/48 scale.
-Modeling the Fw190A5 / U14 anti-ship attack aircraft type with a torpedo mounted on the aircraft.
-The torpedo that catches the eye even in the model reproduces the Norwegian design LFT5b.
――The torpedo, which has a presence at about 10 cm, is modeled in detail not only in its shape but also in details such as the screw on the tail.
――In addition, the delicate finish of the ETC502 rack for mounting on the aircraft cannot be overlooked.
-The aircraft equipped with it accurately reproduces the characteristic form from the thick engine cowl to the narrowed rear part of the aircraft.
――The expression of the panel line also enhances the feeling.
-In addition, this kit also firmly expresses the struts of the tail wheel, which was made specially long to carry torpedoes and raised the ground clearance at the rear of the aircraft.
――Attention is paid to the posture when finished.
――In addition, the details such as the inside of the cockpit for two people, the pedestal of the main landing gear, and the inside of the landing gear storage are also sharp.
--The canopy can be assembled in the open state.
――It is an attractive aircraft that airplane model fans cannot miss.
