Guillow's 500 Series Focke-Wulf Fw-190

The 500 series are the most popular kits in the Guillow's line-up!  These easy-building kits contain laser cut balsa parts, plastic cowls and canopies, decals, plastic prop, wheels, tissue and a 24-page model building booklet.  Approximately 1/30 scale, each model has a 16½” wingspan.

The Fw-190 has great proportions for a flying model.

Any of the 500 series are a great way to get started in building smaller rubber-powered scale model airplanes.  For those wanting to fly, we suggest you upgrade your model with one of our small (4.75" or 6") props, Super Sport rubber and our Asuka 'Flying Bird' tissue.

For now, we will carry the entire 500 series line.  The models with the best potential to fly well include the Focke-Wulf FW-190, Messerschmitt BF-109, F6F Hellcat, Hawker Hurricane and A6M2-N Rufe.  If the model you want is out of stock, just contact us and we will get it for you!

*** Although it had a radial engine, the German Focke-Wulf Fw-190 was one of the most beautifully proportioned fighters of World War II.  The pride of Marshall Goering, the 190 maintained superiority over the British Spitfire 5 for almost two years because it could out fly its opponent in nearly every way.  Approximately 20,000 Focke-Wulf’s were produced and, in various versions, were used as day and night fighters, fighter-bombers and in ground attack roles.  One feature of the 190 was its wide track under carriage, which gave it improved ground stability over the BF-109’s.
