1/48th Scale Pro-built Late war Focke-wulf FW 190 F-8

Description: 1/48th Scale Pro-built Focke-Wulf Fw-190F-8/R-1 Fighter-Bomber - WHAT A BEAUTY!!! This is not a commissioned build - this plane is ready to fly to your home tomorrow! A spectacular example of a FW 190 F-8 built by a professional modeler for your's truly. I have had the model for about 15 years. It was displayed a dust-proof display cabinet and is in perfect condition. Look at the photos and weep if you are a fan of the iconic Butcher Bird! You need this beauty in your collection. NOTE: I love but I am not an expert on the Focke Wulf "types," but I believe that I am correct in the identity of the Fw variant - that said, could be wrong! PACKING I will pack it the way it was sent to me - it will be gently placed on a "cloud" of fiber floss with a similar covering to help buffet it from careless postal workers. This is how it was sent to me and arrived in good shape. That said, there is always risk when sending out these fragile items (pitot tubes, aerials and aerial masts are particularly prone to damage). Make sure you remove the fiber with great care, lifting the model gently straight-up, after removing the fiber covering it, as not to break off any of the tubes hanging from the planes ventral surface. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that some of the fiddly bits will not break off during transit. THE MODEL The Focke-Wulf Fw 190F-8 served as a ground attack counterpart to the Fw 190A-8. In most respects the F-8 was identical to an A-8, but with its outboard cannons removed and the ETC 501 fuselage rack included as standard. In addition, many late F-8s had the “blown hood” style canopy rather than the flat style common on A-8s. This particular aircraft has a late-war color scheme and probably flew with SG 2 or SG 10 (someone that knows much more than I could probably educate me on this!). SG 2" refers to "Schlachtgeschwader 2," which means "Ground Attack Wing 2," indicating that the aircraft was primarily used for ground attack operations with this specific unit, while "SG 10" would refer to "Schlachtgeschwader 10."
