A few years ago, I bought one of the pre-painted 1/48 Revell Focke-Wulf 190 kits. I bought it on a whim really, and did quite a bit of added work on it. I don’t know how accurate the model is, and I don’t know which version the kit represents either. After doing some research, I concluded that it was the Fw-190 F3 variant. But, is that really correct? I only have one or two pics of my build but some of you more knowledgeable folks might have the kit too. Is there a definitive “call” on which version it is?
Joe, I thought that too at first. It seems like the F-3 was closer in regards to the options I chose. Man, the many versions get mighty confusing to me. I’ve never been sure about the version Revell tried to replicate. Thanks for the reply brother!
The Monogram kit could be made into the A-3 to A-6 versions, or the F-3. It does not have the heavier 13mm cowl guns of the A-7/A-8 or F-8, or no cowl guns of the G variants. Although the original kit instructions show that it can be made into the A-7 & A-8 versions, you would need a conversion kit with the bulged upper deck. Most of the variations in the A series family are internal, aside from the tail antenna mast on the A-2 and earlier and the cowl guns on A-7 and later.
