1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 light fighter ProfiPack Edition

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190, also known as the Würger (Shrike in German), was a single-seat, single-engine, low-wing fighter and fighter-bomber aircraft developed by the German aircraft company Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau GmbH in the 1930s and employed by the Luftwaffe during World War II. At the time of its entry into service in 1941, it was in the opinion of some authors the most advanced fighter in the world. Faster than the Spitfire, its yaw rate was outstanding. However, the German fighter's high wing loading was the cause of one of its shortcomings: its tendency to stall without warning, resulting in overturning and going into a spin.
It underwent continuous developments and improvements that allowed it to remain competitive with the most modern Allied aircraft until Germany's surrender in May 1945. It was generally considered by pilots to be superior to the other main German fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
In dozens of versions, the Fw 190 was built in 13,367 examples as an interceptor and 6,634 as a fighter bomber and distinguished itself on all fronts. It was equipped with both radial and in-line engines.
