    This month's UK 'warbird' magazines all feature colour photos of 'newbuild' FW 190A-8/N built by Flug Werk GmbH running its' engine up for the first time at Manching airfield in Germany on September 28th.

    OK, it's a replica with a Chinese(!)-built radial engine, but it sure looks good in the photo and I for one would just love to see it fly at an airshow :cool:

    Hmmmmmmmm boy this is a bare bones a/c is it not !
    I wonder if they know what their designation /N really means. they should since they are German.....well that doesn't mean a thing of course. I do see we here at the forums could buy a couple of the kits to have around and maybe fly once we got our Luftwaffe credentials. Oh but first I need to add the armaments. ;)
