Giant-Scale FW-190A R/C kit Price: $330.00
With the Jack Devine FW-190A model,
much of the work has already been done for you. Imagine opening the box and
finding a fully-formed foam frame waiting there for you! You won't have to
imagine what your model is going to look like framed up. The frame is
done, the shape is already complete! All that's left to do is follow the
easy video instructions for capping, sheeting, and installing some hard points
like a firewall and landing gear blocks, and your model is ready for gear and
finish! Once you look at it you'll realize with a Focke-Wulf 190 this size
just how quickly you can be in the air compared to a stick-built model.
There's just no comparison in building time, a Jack Devine model builds faster every
time!
Break the "Weight Barrier"
that has existed between modelers and great flying R/C warbirds for so long!!
Our Giant-Scale sport-scale Focke-Wulf FW-190A R/C model kit
has a wingspan of 82" and a finished weight of just 14 to 18 pounds
using a gas engine, a warbird model with light wing loading and terrific
flying and landing characteristics!
The German Focke Wulf 190 was built as
the successor to the already feared ME-109, although at that stage of the war
the Germans were doing so well that it seemed nothing could stop the Luftwaffe,
and there was generally thought to be no need for another fighter. Once it
flew, it quickly became apparent that the new FW-190 was even more fearsome than
the Messerschmitt. First encountered in the North African Theatre by the
99th Fighter Group, the FW-190 encountered terrific resistance by our
"Red-Tail Angels", the Tuskegee Airmen, who at the time were still
flying the far-outclassed P-40 Warhawks. Rapid FW-190 developments and
adjustments followed, and soon the Focke-Wulf was considered to be more than an
even match for the mighty P-51 Mustang! Allied Bomber groups
nicknamed the FW-190 the "Butcher-Bird", a name that leaves little to
the imagination as to its origination. The FW-190 was one of the most
successful and respected warbirds of World War II. Its colorful history,
reputation, and then-futuristic styling have all contributed to its becoming a
very popular scale modeling choice in recent years.
The FW-190 is an excellent choice for
modelers who want to fly an unusual warbird, because of the generous wing area of the
Focke Wulf 190. This also makes the Jack Devine FW-190 a terrific scale
endeavor, as our foam-core technology combines lightness with light wing
loading, allowing a lot of scale additions! It is designed and cut to very
scale dimensions, so this sport-scale giant will not only fly well, it's a real
eye-catcher with its true-to-scale silhouette. You just can't help but
look good at the field!
It comes with our instructional video to help you
build it easily. The video guides you through the
capping and sheeting of all foam pieces, and the gearing up for hardware,
mounts, etc. Are you wondering about the processes involved? This
website also has building articles filled with a variety of tips and techniques
to help answer many of your construction questions, both now and after you start
building your Jack Devine model!
The
wings have pre-cut control surfaces, servo pockets, and wire channels.
Included is all of the balsa you will need for sheeting, a generous hardware package consisting of hardware, landing
gear, and a fiberglass cowling and Lexan canopy are included as well. Cutting for retracts
is optional. Uses Robart Retracts Model #622 with 4"
wheels.
Building time: This kit
can be built in as little as 25 hours, even with limited building experience!
