If any German front line fighter of the Second World War had the ability to strike fear into the hearts of allied pilots then the Fw-190 was surely it. Superior to the Spitfire V in all but its turn radius it wasn't until the introduction of Supermarine's Mk.IX in 1942 that the tables could be turned. Even so the '190 remained a thorn in the RAF's side for some considerable time and earned long-term respect, not least from those who flew it. So, what better model to pair with Seagull's new 86-inch Spitfire (SEA260NG) than this hugely evocative, newly modified, 80 inch span Luftwaffe legend? Can you see what we did there? Yes, you've got it - grab a friend, buy one of each and prepare for some 1/5-scale tail chase action. Beautifully matched in both era and performance the Fw190 is the perfect adversary for the Spit' and an obvious choice for anyone with a large-scale Axis fighter on their wish list.
With Version 2 modifications offering plug-in wing panels, electric retracts, rubber tyres with aluminium hubs and numerous other upgrades, the full package – featuring split flaps, drop tank, cannons, undercarriage fairings, a pilot, a sprung tail wheel and numerous other scale details – offers an awful lot of model for the money. It's an aeroplane that's sure to reward your investment over and over as you become familiar with, and grow to admire, this convincing version of the menacingly nicknamed Butcher Bird.
