Dragon Warbirds German Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 "Black Double Chevron", Gruppenkommandeur II/JG 1, Mecklenburg, February 1945, #DRW 50094.
This model features the distinctive late war camouflage of Hauptmann Paul-Heinrich Dähne. It features a red band on the rear of the fuselage as used by JG1 while defending the reich.
The Fw190 was a fighter that played a vital role as Germany desperately tried to stem the tide of the advancing Russian and Allied forces that were crushing it from two directions. Early in 1945 there was an influx of Fw190s at the Eastern Front tasked with slowing the inexorable Russian advance.
One such fighter was the “Black Double Chevron” Fw190A-8 flown by Hauptmann Paul-Heinrich Dähne, Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 1. Dähne was credited with over 100 wartime ‘victories’ before being shot down himself on 24 April 1945. | • Type of Model: Pre-Assembled Diecast Model

| About the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 (Fighter Airplane):
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 (Butcher-Bird) was a single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft of the Luftwaffe, and one of the best fighters of its generation. Used extensively during World War II, over 20,000 were manufactured, including around 6,000 fighter-bomber models with production beginning in 1941.
There were nine distinct sub-variants of the original Fw 190A.
Introduced in June of 1942, the Fw 190 A-4 was equipped with the same engine and basic armament as the A-3. It was, however, equipped with updated radio gear, and in some instances pilot-controllable engine cooling vents. The A-4's main improvement was the number of Umr?st-Baus?tze versions. The U1 was outfitted with under wing bomb racks and the removal of all armament with the exception of the MG 151 cannons. The U3 was designed as a Jabo, fitted with under wing ETC-501 racks, which could be fitted with either SC-250 bombs or 300 l drop tanks. The U3 also was deployed in night missions having some slight modification such as exhaust suppressors and landing lights. The U3 served as the basis of the Fw 190 F-1 assault fighter.
The U4 was a reconnaissance fighter, with two Rb 12.4 cameras in the rear fuselage and a EK16 or Robot II gun camera. The U4 was equipped with the fuselage mounted MG 17s and MG 151 cannons. The U7 was a high altitude fighter, easily identified by the compressor air intakes on either side of the cowling. Galland himself flew a U7 in the spring of 1943. The U8 introduced the Jabo-Rei (Jagdbomber Reichweite) to the Fw 190 world, adding a 300 l drop tank on the centerline and two SC 50 bombs under each wing. The MG FF/M cannons were sometimes removed which allowed the addition of two SC-250 mounted on each side of wing mounted drop tanks. The U8 served as the basis of the Fw 190 G. Some A-4s were outfitted with underwing WGr 21 rocket mortars, these were designated Fw 190 A-4/R6. A total of 976 A-4s were built between June of 1942 and March of 1943. |
