Germany sent one Fw 190A-8 to Japan for technical evaluation. The analysis of it assisted in the development of the radial-engined Kawasaki Ki-100 from the inline-engined Ki-61 Hien "Tony", specifically the successful mating of a wide engine to a narrow airframe.Although the type was not put into production by the Japanese, it received the Allied code-name 'Fred'.

Here's a photo of the real thing.

It's an early "A" model, as you can tell by the gear doors and wheel covers. In 1/48, you could use Hasegawa's A-3, as the necessary parts are included.
