Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe MAIN DATA PLATE,  originating from a VERY RARE Fw190 F8/R1 “Panzer-Blitz” Ground Attack Fighter!  Based on the Fw 190A-8, it carried a pair of 13mm MG 131 machine guns above the nose, and two 20mm MG 151 cannon in the wing roots.  Also featured a pair of ETC 50 racks under each wing, allowing it to carry four SC50 bombs under the wings, as well as whatever was on the fuselage rack.  Later in the war the modified ETC 71 rack was used, carrying the same payload.  Sadly, I do not have any loss information.

  The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank at Focke-Wulf in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II. Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Fw 190 became the backbone of the Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force) of the Luftwaffe. The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and to a lesser degree, night fighter.

The Fw 190A started flying operationally over France in August 1941 and quickly proved superior in all but turn radius to the Spitfire Mk. V, the main front-line fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF) particularly at low and medium altitude.  The 190 maintained superiority over Allied fighters until the introduction of the improved Spitfire Mk. IX.  In November/December 1942, the Fw 190 made its air combat debut on the Eastern Front, finding much success in fighter wings and specialised ground attack units (Schlachtgeschwader (Battle Wings or Strike Wings) from October 1943.

The Fw 190A series’ performance decreased at high altitudes (usually 6,000 m (20,000 ft) and above), which reduced its effectiveness as a high-altitude interceptor. From the Fw 190’s inception, there had been ongoing efforts to address this with a turbosupercharged BMW 801 in the B model, the much longer-nosed C model with efforts to also turbocharge its chosen Daimler-Benz DB 603 inverted V12 powerplant, and the similarly long-nosed D model with the Junkers Jumo 213. Problems with the turbocharger installations on the -B and -C subtypes meant only the D model entered service in September 1944. These high-altitude developments eventually led to the Focke-Wulf Ta 152, which was capable of extreme speeds at medium to high altitudes (755 km/h (408 kn; 469 mph) at 13,500 m (44,300 ft)).  While these “long nose” 190 variants and the Ta 152 derivative especially gave the Germans parity with Allied opponents, they arrived too late to affect the outcome of the war.

The Fw 190 was well-liked by its pilots. Some of the Luftwaffe’s most successful fighter aces claimed many of their kills while flying it, including Otto Kittel, Walter Nowotny and Erich Rudorffer. The Fw 190 had greater firepower than the Bf 109 and, at low to medium altitude, superior manoeuvrability, in the opinion of German pilots who flew both fighters. It was regarded as one of the best fighter planes of the war.

This data tag was the MAIN data plate located on the Fw190.  It indicated the aircraft type, serial number, and manufacturer. 

 

Made of a zinc/aluminum alloy, this is a FANTASTIC piece!.  It features some slight scratches and bends, but it is VERY SOLID otherwise, with NO corrosion or major damage!   All information is CLEARLY legible.  Made by Arado, markings indicated are:

 

Gerat-Nr     Fw190F8/R1

Werk-Nr.    582xxx

Hersteller   HKZ

  

 As so few Fw190 F8 models were built (and only 1 remains today), it makes this a VERY RARE item!  Smaller in size than the earlier fuselage plates, it measures approx. 1″ x 2″ in size.  Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
