A research team at Graf Zeppelin Flugzeugwerke designed an experimental prototype for extended range flying based on the A7 version of the famous WWII German Fw190.
The A7 had entered production in late 1943 and featured two 13mm MG131 machine guns and strengthened landing gear. However, the A7 was soon to be eclipsed by the superior A8 model, meaning that only eighty were ever manufactured. The prototype A7 Doppelreiter, as it was known, boasted 270litre slipper fuel tanks, one mounted on each wings upper surface.
Features: Newly tooled "Slipper" tanks. Photoetched parts to represent cockpit, seatbelt, antennae and other details. New decals from Cartograf.
