Template information
After the Bf 109, the Fw 190 was the second standard fighter aircraft of the German Luftwaffe. It proved to be not only a very versatile but also a durable machine. It was also produced in large quantities from the beginning of 1944 in the form of a heavy fighter-bomber with the designation Fw 190 F-8. The F series was developed in 1943 specifically for ground attacks.
The aircraft was able to carry a bomb load of 700 kg on five external pylons. The armor plates protecting the fuselage and the longitudinal reinforcements of the wings in the area of the main landing gear were strengthened, otherwise the F-8 variant corresponded to the fighter version of the A-8.
After mass production began, a new propeller with wooden blades and a bubble-shaped cockpit cover with reinforced armor protecting the pilot were added. From the beginning of 1944 until the end of the war, more than 6,500 Fw 190s, both in the A-8 and F-8 versions, were delivered to German troops.
