MPM 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw-189 V6, 72516 plastic model kit

1/72 72516 MPM Focke-Wulf Fw-189 V6

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc

Still factory sealed and the only 1/72 scale kit of the V6 variant. The Fw-189 made it's first flight in the late 1930s and was ordered into production soon afterwards. However, in 1938, the V1 prototype was returned to Focke-Wulf for modification into the V1b close support aircraft. The fuselage was replace with a small structure consisting of mostly armor plate. However, this aircraft found itself in with the same problems plaguing it's competition, the Hs-129 V1 - it was too heavy and underpowered. After being destroyed in a crash, the V6 (this model) was built as a back up for the Hs-129 which was also still in development. Eventually the Hs-129 was developed into a fine aircraft and there was no need for the V6 '189. This is a beautifully molded model with all very fine recessed panel lines, very good two-seat cockpit (gunner and pilot) and much more. With paint guide and decals resulting in the latest research of this rare aircraft.
