The Fw190 type A-8 is Hasegawa's masterpiece in the Fw190 series and in Luftwaffe history one of the most formidable fighters of WWII.
The kit reproduces faithfully the shape of the A-8 with high quality detailed parts. The fuselage parts are newly developed exclusively for the A-8 making the kit  easy to assemble with less parts and marvelous fitting.

The Focke wulf 190 performed outstandingly throughout World War II, serving in large numbers with the Luftwaffe, and also in a handful of smaller nation's air forces. It performed almost every role possible for a single-engined aircraft, and proved to be successful as a fighter, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, trainer and night-fighter. Its main role was as a fighter, and in this role it excelled, dominating the European skies for more than a year after its introduction into service in August 1941. The FW 190 retained a certain superiority over Allied types throughout the war. Continual development resulted in new variants, eventually seeing a radical change in shape with a new engine fitted to the FW 190 D (Dora), and in the final months of the war, the Ta 152 (designated Ta to honour designer Kurt Tank). By the end of the war more than 20,000 had been produced, and the FW 190 had become one of the world's great warplanes.
