For auction now Out of production and hard to find, from EDUARD, Royal Class : Focke-Wulf 190 A-8/R2 Ref : R004 N° 2626 Please read carefully my instructions concerning shipping at the end. The kit is sealed with is original blister, so the pictures comes from internet reviews. From : Relish Models Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 ROYAL CLASS is a double edition with two kits included. One of them contains parts for the Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8, the second one adds something new, a set of parts for the famous armoured version, Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8/R2 Sturmbock. The concept of this ROYAL CLASS kit will be a bit different from the previous RC kits. First difference is the number of kits in the set two instead of three, as was the case with the I-16 and Fokker D.VII. The second difference is the set of bonuses. No PC game will be included here, but we will maintain the tradition of the inclusion of a medal, this kit contains an exceptionally valuable one, the Knight?s Cross, which will be a full scale replica as with previous inclusions. Another interesting bonus will be a small piece of the original aircraft, a piece measuring some 2x2 cm of the airframe of the II.(Sturm)/JG 4 Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8/R2, shot down on September 11, 1944, over Czech territory. We have the markings of this aircraft (Yellow 8) included in the decal options. The third bonus will be a publication describing a big air battle over Kovarska/Schmiedeberg, where this aircraft was shot down together with another 37 German and 18 USAAF aircraft. We bring very interesting information about this not so well known but epic part of the air war over Europe, with plenty of original photographs and color illustrations. The final bonus will be the classic Eduard overture PE sets. This set is designed on the level of the BIG ED concept, besides the standard kit colour set there will be four more sets for each kit contained, which means 8 extra sets, 2 each of 48 551 Focke Wulf Fw 190A Landing Flaps, 48 555 Focke Wulf Fw 190 Tools and Boxes, 48 556 Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8, and FE370 Focke Wulf Fw 190A placards.
