1/72 Tamiya Focke-Wulf Fw190A-3 Model

Tamiya presents the Fw190A-3 in 1/72 scale, highlighting the aircrafts compact but powerful profile used by Luftwaffe fighter units. The kit captures the rugged airframe and the character of the BMW 801Dg engine within model scale limitations.

Design Origins and Combat Role

Conceived in the late 1930s to complement the Messerschmitt Bf109, the A-3 brought an engine upgrade to roughly 1,700 horsepower and carried six guns, including MG151 cannon. The kit reproduces those hallmarks so builders can examine period design choices.

Model Building Notes

With clean parts and historically styled decals, the kit is rewarding once assembled and painted. It integrates well into a WWII fighter lineup and makes a strong small-scale display piece.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Decals: Included for multiple squadron markings
Standard plastic cement works well for the main assemblies. For small detail parts, use a fine applicator to avoid excess and maintain detail.
At 1/72 scale the cockpit is simplified but includes key elements to suggest the interior. Paint and careful assembly will boost realism.
A small plinth or flat diorama base works well for 1/72 fighters. Pair with a few ground accessories or other aircraft to create a compact scene.
