1:48 Fw 190A-8 cowling with exhaust

Engine cowling with exhausts Fw 190A-8 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. The resin engine cowling with cast exhausts replaces the plastic parts from the base kit and adds a more faithful shape to the forward part of the German Fw 190A-8 fighter in 1:48 scale, the exhaust outlets included.

The real subject and what the part is for

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a German single-seat fighter of the Second World War with the air-cooled BMW 801 radial engine. It was one of the most feared opponents of Allied airmen and was built in large numbers. The A-8 rendition was among the most widespread and carried heavy armament for fighting bombers. The exhausts of the BMW 801 engine were led into groups along the sides and under the fuselage, which the casting captures faithfully.

Usage tips

• Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
• Cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces with respiratory protection
• Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate); cement for plastic does not hold on resin
• Pick the exhaust outlets out with a dark wash and a rusty brown shade

Who the part is for

• For builders of the Fw 190A-8 fighter in 1:48 scale
• For modelers who want a more faithful engine cowling and exhausts
• For more advanced modelers with experience of resin

This is a resin detail part, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
