Tfamous fighter aircraft of the German Luftwaffe. The A-8 variant represented the peak of development for the radial-he Focke-Wulf Fw 190, designed by Kurt Tank, was one of the most
engined Fw 190s and was the most produced subtype of the ”A” version. Its official designation was Würger (Shrike), but it was known almost universally by
Allied pilots as the “Butcher Bird”, for good reasons.most German night fighter units used twin-engined aircraft like the For the first few years of the war,
Messerschmitt Bf 110, Junkers Ju 88, or Dornier Do 217. By the summer of 1943, the Luftwaffe devised new night interception tactics whereby
single-engined day fighters were controlled from the ground by radar. The system was called Wilde Sau, and three Jagdgeschwader – JG 300, JG 301, and JG 302 – were
formed specifically for the purpose of night fighting. The idea was that searchlight batteries would provide enough illumination

to allow single-engine day fighters to attack the bombers. enough to enable the Luftwaffe to deter at least one RAF bomber These tactics proved successful
offensive on Berlin. As a result of this Hermann Goering decided to triple the strength of Wilde Sau units, but events intervened and in the spring of 1944 it was
decided that all available fighters were needed against USAAF day raids, and Wilde Sau units were converted to day operations.One of the aircraft developments
undertaken specifically for Wilde Sau was the night fighter version of the Fw 190. The choice was made to equip the aircraft with FuG217 Neptun J-2 or FuG218 Neptun J-
radar with external antennae. After some experiments, an R-11 factory conversion kit was issued for the Fw 190A-8. It contained the radar
installation with external wing-mounted antennae, underbelly 300-litre auxiliary fuel tank, additional flame dampers over the exhaust stacks, and a landing light.

OPENING THE BOXAs is usual with kits from Revell, the box opens at the ends, so it cannot be used as a working
tray for parts. My solution was to decant everything into

decals and a multipage instruction sheet, written in no fewer than twenty-one languages. These polyglossic words are all either
definitions applied to symbols (stick/paint/drill here, etc.) or vague descriptions of the 21 different colours involved in the build, such as ”blackish green matt”, ”khaki
brown matt” and – my favourite

two variants available to build: an Fw 190A-8/R11 nightfighter from June 1944 and an Fw 190 A-8 from June 1945. The former – White 9, W. Nr. 29210, flown by Ofw. Günter
Migge, 1./NJGr. 10, (Werneuchen) – comes complete with radar aerials above and below the wings, and this is the version I decided
upon, if only because prior to seeing the kit I had no idea it had ever existed.

Stage 1 is the main cabin floor and the cockpit (who would have thought?). The seats aren’t bad, but while the photo-etch belts
would help dress them up, I was supplied with Eduard’s seat belt set 49819, which has the advantage of being pre-painted. Given how tiny this set is, I
would have thought that Eduard could have included it in one of the other two sets I was supplied with, these being 49821 H-21C, which covers the cockpit and external
details, and 49820 Cargo Internal Seats, which covers the red webbing seat backs in the cargo bay. It has to be said that the cockpit/external details set is well worth the money,
if only for the cockpit details alone.little basic, the main instrument panel being just a flat sheet of As supplied, the kit cockpit is a

webbing; they aren’t that bad but don’t include lap belts. The Eduard set supplies better webbing The kit provides seats and back
and a lot of lap belts, though it’s worth noting that you still need

to paint the reverse of the pre-painted webbing red, as otherwise the back will show as bare silver metal through the windows. Rather than the supplied long
plastic rod to support the back webbing, I used a length of 1 mm Albion Alloys tube, as this had a little more rigidity than plastic of the same diameter. For the first
seat I pre-bent all 27 little tabs on the webbing to receive the metal rod support, but getting them all to behave simultaneously
was a real pain. For the second seat I just bent the three on the

seat backs at each end and glued the rod to these six, and when that was dry I bent the tabs for the other seven seats around the rod; this was much easier.

covered by the exhaust collector, so I am not even sure it’s worth painting the engine, let alone detailing it. Stage 6 has you fit the windows,
an etched grille, the completed engine assembly, and the rear bulkheads into one side of the fuselage. But before you do any of that you need to consider the
fuselage texture and what you’re going to use from the Eduard set. Having offered the two fuselage halves up together one thing went through my mind.
