Historical and technical description

The BMW 801D-2 engine powered the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-3 fighter, which was one of the most important Luftwaffe aircraft during World War II. The Fw 190A-3 served from 1942 on the Western and Eastern fronts as well as in North Africa. It was characterized by an excellent power-to-weight ratio, allowing it to match the performance of Allied fighters such as the Spitfire and P-51 Mustang. The engine was repeatedly modernized and was considered very advanced in terms of design for its time.

Why choose the Eduard 648364 set?

This set is an excellent addition to any 1/48 scale Fw 190A-3 model due to its very high level of detail, both thanks to resin parts and photo-etched additions. For modelers—both advanced and ambitious intermediates—this product allows for a realistic presentation of models with an open engine cowling. It will be especially appreciated by diorama and contest display enthusiasts. The assembly difficulty is estimated at 4/5 due to the need to work with resin and assemble photo-etched details.

If you want to faithfully reproduce a German World War II fighter, the Eduard 648364 Fw 190A-3 engine is the perfect choice to showcase top-quality modeling skills!
