Plastic kit of the Focke Wulf FW 187A-0 Falke fighter aircraft in 1:72 scale.

Originally, the kit from 2004 contained plastic parts, etchings and PUR parts. Now, to make it not so retro, we have supplemented two frames of plastic parts and the frame of clear parts with modified etchings, reworked PUR parts and also newly designed 3D printed parts.

Use plastic model glue to glue the model. You can paint the model with plastic model paints. (glue and paints are not included in the delivery)

You can find all the parameters of the model on the next tab. We provide maximum information for each model so that you can make the right decision regarding your purchase.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 187 Falke was a two-seat German twin-engine all-metal low-wing fighter with retractable spur-type landing gear.

In 1935, Kurt Tank developed a preliminary design for a twin-engine fighter aircraft without an official order. At the beginning of 1936, he presented his design at an exhibition of the latest weapons held at the Henschel factory near Berlin. Although Adolf Hitler was very fond of the project, the officials of the Technical Office showed no interest in the project. Their argument was that the expected performance was identical to single-engine aircraft. The advantages of the longer range of the twin-engine design, suitable as an escort for Luftwaffe bombers, were rejected by the Technisches Amt.

Tank was not discouraged by the officials' reaction and soon turned directly to the head of the development department of the technical department, Oberst Wolfram von Richthofen. Von Richthofen supported Kurt Tank's idea and the Focke-Wulf company subsequently received an order for three prototypes under the designation Fw 187.
