¹⁄48

Despite having both 1/72 and 1/32 scale Fw 190s in their range, Hasegawa have never released this famous aircraft in 1/48 scale - until now... Fans of Luftwaffe aircraft have plenty to look forward to this Christmas with Hasegawa's decision to release what will almost certainly be just the start of a series an all-new 1/48 scale Fw 190s.

The provisional details of the new kit look very exciting:
Item No: 09090 will be a 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-3, comprising 91 parts and with markings for 2 x colour schemes:

1) An a/c flown by Kommandeur Hauptmann Hans "Assi" Hahn, III./JG2, France, May 1942
2) "Black 13", an a/c of 8./JG2, France 1942

The kit should start shipping in December at a suggested retail price of $28.95.

Presumably the tooling will be scaled down from Hasegawa's hugely popular 1/32 scale series and, if the latter are anything to go by, the new kit should soon be followed by later Fw 190 variants.
