Eduard 7439 Fw 190A-5 Light Fighter (2 cannons) 1/72

Eduard 7439 Fw 190A-5 Light Fighter (2 cannons) in 1/72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit of a World War II fighter aircraft, manufactured by the renowned producer Eduard. The set represents the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 version—a German light fighter with a reduced number of cannons, which improved its agility and performance in aerial combat.

Historical Description: The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5, one of the key Luftwaffe fighters, entered service in 1943 and was used until the end of World War II. It was known for its robust construction, high speed, and versatility—serving both as an interceptor, escort aircraft, and a ground attack plane. The variant with two MG 151/20 cannons was widely used by Luftwaffe pilots, particularly on the Eastern Front and during the defense of the Reich.
