The Focke-Wulf Fw190 was Germany’s most lethal fighter of WWII. The Fw190A-series of aircraft were some of the finest aircraft of their time. From its inception into the air war over Europe against Spitfires of the RAF; to the vast, cold plains of Russia; to the high altitudes suicidal interception of 4-engined bombers, the Fw190A-series of aircraft brought fear to the Allied pilots.

Though probably not the best of the Fw190-series, the Fw190A-series was by far the beloved of the Fw190 series. This model is a beautiful replica of the Fw190A-5 "Green 13" flown by top ace Obslt. Walter Oesau who achieved 123 victories, was Kommodore of JG 2 until June 1943. KIA May 11th as Kommodore of JG 1. Model shows five bombers on fin, port side, representing victories 101-105, two of which are on fire.
