Focke-Wulf FW190A-8 R2/R6/R7/R8
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8 entered production in February 1944 powered either by the standard BMW 801 D-2 or the 801Q (also known as 801TU).
The 801Q/TU, with the “T” signifying a Triebwerksanlage unitized powerplant installation, was a standard 801D with improved, thicker armour on the BMW-designed front annular cowling, which still incorporated the BMW-designed oil cooler, upgraded from 6 mm (0.24 in) on earlier models to 10 mm (0.39 in).
Other changes in the Fw 190 A-8 included the C3-injection Erhöhte Notleistung emergency boost system to the fighter variant of the Fw 190 A (a similar system with less power had been fitted to some earlier Jabo variants of the 190 A), raising power to 1,980 PS (1,950 hp; 1,460 kW) for 10 minutes. The 10 minute emergency power may be used up to three times per mission with a 10 minute cooldown in “combat power” between each 10 minute use of emergency power.
This is a 4 – in – 1 kit enabling 4 different versions to be made.
