Fw 190A-8/R2 WEEKEND EDITION Cat.No. 8428
The kit offers the markings
of Sturmbock flown by CO of
IV.(Sturm)/JG 3 ‘Udet’, Wilhelm
Moritz, who was one of the best
known Sturmjägers, as the up-
armored Fw 190 Sturmbock
pilots were known. These birds
were developed in an effort
to combat allied heavy bomber
formations. Subsequently, it initiated
the practice of dark painting of the front of the Gruppe’s
Focke-Wulfs. The ‘Udet’ unit marking was typically only
applied to the right side.
