Flug Werk Fw 190A-8/N
Dan Kirkland bought the remains of a Fw 190A-5 that crashed in France during WWII. Along with the major components supported by Flug Werk we rebuilt the 190 using a Russian Ash 82 engine and propeller manufactured by MT Propeller.
Behind the Scenes
Flug Werk of Germany built 21 kits or Fw 190 structures, from the radial engine version to the long nose version.
