Description: Easy Model Platinum Collection 36364 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A Display Model Luftwaffe IV./JG 3 Udet, Black 8, Willi Maximowitz, Dreux, France, 1944 1:72 Scale Length WidthFocke-Wulf Fw 190A 4.75" 5.75" On May 8, 1944 Unteroffizier (NCO) Willi Maximowitz became part of IV./JG 3 as 11.Staffel in Dreux France and provided ground support in Normandy. By July they were re-assigned to attacking Allied bombers. On July 30, 1944 Maximowitz was promoted to Feldwebel and soon after was injured crash-landing "Black 8". Next he was assigned as Captain Moritz's Katschmarek (wing-man). In February 1945 IV./JG 3 transferred to the Eastern Front and Maximowitz scored 12 more victories for a total of 27. On April 20, 1945 he failed to return from a combat mission. Focke-Wulf Fw 190A Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and maneuverable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora." Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
