Focke-Wulf Fw190 A-4 (60.25”)

The fast, aggressive lines of the Focke Wulf Fw190A are beautifully captured in this Brian Taylor R/C model plan. The big two-sheet plan is for a very accurate 60.25-inch wingspan scale model featuring working flaps and a retractable undercarriage. The model is of conventional all-wood construction. A laser-cut wood-pack is available, which contains most of the shaped parts needed, such as fuselage formers and wing ribs. Also, an Additional Wood Pack is available which contains MOST of the additional sheet and strip wood, ply & hardwood to complete the model. A moulded plastic cockpit canopy and engine cowling are available for this model, as well as an aluminium propeller spinner. The model was designed to be powered by a .60 cu in the two-stroke engine but experienced modellers should be able to convert it to electric power (details not supplied, so please send us information if you make a successful EP version!) It is not suitable for beginners, either to plan building or model flying.

Full Size: When it appeared in the skies over occupied France in 1941, the fast, heavily armed Focke Wulf Fw190A earned the name ‘Butcher Bird’ among RAF pilots who suddenly found their Spitfire V’s outclassed – a position that persisted until they were re-equipped with the Spitfire IX in1942. Fw190s were used in all theatres of WWII in many different versions, including fighter, ground attack and reconnaissance. In 1944 the re-engined Fw190D re-established parity but, like most other German weapon developments at the time, they were by then so outnumbered by allied forces that they could have little real impact.

What’s in a Laser or CNC Cut Wood Pack? – A CNC or laser cut wood pack contains most, if not all, of the intricately shaped parts shown on the plan, which would be difficult or time-consuming to cut out by hand. It does not contain any sheet or strip wood, which you will need to buy separately. Alternatively, you can purchase an Additional Wood Pack, if available. Our Laser or CNC Cut Wood Packs only contain balsa, ply and lite ply and do not include other materials that may be required to complete the model, such as hardwoods, metals and GRP sheets.

What’s in an Additional Wood Pack? – Our Additional Wood Packs contain MOST of the necessary sheet and strip wood needed to complete a model being built from a Sarik Hobbies plan and using the associated laser cut wood pack, if available. We stock a wide range of balsa, ply and spruce in popular sheet and strip sizes but even so we cannot guarantee to be able to supply all the wood necessary to complete each model. So some additional purchases may be required from other modelling wood stockists if not available from Sarik Hobbies. Our Additional Wood Packs only contain balsa, ply and spruce wood in the stock sizes as used by our suppliers and do not include other materials that may be required to complete the model such as hardwoods, metals and GRP sheet.

What’s in a Short Kit? – A short kit usually contains, where available, the plan, the laser/CNC cut wood pack, additional wood pack, canopy, cowl or any other available Glass Fibre or plastic moulded items.
