Eduard 3DL48047 Fw 190A-5 SPACE EDUARD 1/48 – Advanced Luftwaffe Detail Set

Eduard 3DL48047 Fw 190A-5 SPACE is an extremely detailed accessory set dedicated to the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 aircraft model in the popular 1/48 scale. It is designed for use with plastic models (e.g., Eduard), enhancing the realism and fidelity of the cockpit details of the famous Luftwaffe fighter from World War II.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 – Historical Background

The Fw 190A-5 was one of the development versions of the legendary German fighter that appeared on World War II fronts from 1943 onwards. It was intensively used by the Luftwaffe on all European fronts—against RAF forces over the English Channel, on the Eastern Front, and in the defense of the Reich. The A-5 variant was distinguished by an improved fuselage and the ability to carry larger underwing loads. Used by Germany from 1943 to 1945, it was highly valued by pilots for its superb maneuverability and powerful armament.

Set Contents and Materials

The Eduard SPACE set offers a 3D-printed instrument panel and laser-cut photoetched parts, allowing for highly accurate replication of cockpit structures. The 3D components feature excellent depth and prints with attention to the smallest details—perfect for realistic replication of instrument panels, seatbelts, or other Fw 190A-5 interior details. The materials used by Eduard are high-quality resin and metal components (the set does not include a plastic model, it is an accessory).
