Nicknamed Würger (Shrike), Fw 190 is the most representative Luftwaffe of WWII The Fw 190 was one of the main Luftwaffe single-seat fighters during WWII, developed under Dr. Kurt Tank’s design philosophy that is "a fighter plane should be a warhorse, not a racehorse.” The A-3/-4 is a representative for the early variants. Dr. Tank mitigated the disadvantages of air-cooled engines, which have a large frontal area and high aerodynamic drag, by narrowing the cowling diameter as much as possible and reduced the frontal area by mounting both the oil cooler and oil tank in front of the engine. Furthermore, the performance of the high output air-cooled engine was maximized by employing thrust from the exhaust pipes to gain speed.Please note the delicately changing cross section from the nose to the side of the fuselage. The overall form shows simplicity and sturdiness of German aircraft.

The real charm of this long-deployed masterpiece jet-fighter comes at you with an SWS kit. This long-awaited kit has been reproduced without missing any of the improvements from the J-type! Decals reproducing the markings of 57FIS during "William Tell'76"! 12 main differences between C and J&S! ENGINE 1. Cartridge starter 2. Short nozzle as on B-type COCKPIT 3. Front seat for the pilot, backseat for the Weapon System Officer 4. Addition of control systems inside the backseat 5. Ladder to get in & out of the cockpit LANDING GEARS 6. Approach light installed on the front gear cover 7. Low pressure (200psi) 30×11.5inches (76.2cm×29.2cm) main gear tires MAIN WINGS & STABILIZERS 8. No catapult hook on the front of the main wings underside 9. Inner side of the main wings' front edge flaps also movable *Optional on the SWS kit. 10. Folding structure on the land planes' outer wings preserved but hand-operated OUTER & INNER STRUCTURES 11. Oil receptacle on the back side of the fuselage 12. Antenna fairing installed under the nose

Finally, the new F-4D from the SWS F-4 series! F-4 C/D fans, pay attention to the differences!! Towel-hanger (LORAN-D Antenna) installed on the back of the fuselage! The impressive shape of 497 TFS "Night Owls", used for night attacks in Vietnam J,S,C,D a different reproduced each one with new tooling! F-4 fans, pay attention to these 8 differences between D and C ! INNER STRUCTURE 1. FCS changes from AN/APQ-100 to -109. 2. INS, from AN/ASN-48 to -63. 3. Bomb computer AN/ASQ-91 and AN/ASG-22 sight installed. EXTERIOR SHAPE 4. Some aircrafts have AN/ARN-92 LORAN-D antenna (aka "Towel Hanger") on the back, used in Vietnam. 5. Some others have RHAW antenna installed in every section. EQUIPMENT 6. Pave knife pods (AN/AVQ-10), operative laser target designator pods and laser guided bombs added. 7. All the ECM pods for AN/ALQ-87/-101/-119 mounted on. 8. Operable AIM-4D added.

The 3rd SWS F-4J kit, going back to the Navy with VF-142 Ghostriders markings! Since its first flight in 1958, the F-4 has won many battles across the battlefields of the Vietnam and Gulf war, widely operated over a long span of time all over the world! With our SWS kits, we aim to approach what makes this jet so unique with its various squadrons and deployments. VF-142 Ghostriders, was one of the squadrons still operating the F-4J in the last “Rhino” days. It features a vertical tail boldly colored in orange-yellow with multi-colored stars to represent the CAG aircraft. The biggest barrier to kit development lies in representing the external features of the F-4, such recreating the thickness and sharpness of the nose while including the large overhang on the sides of the nose as well. This SWS kit carries out a thorough coverage of the actual machine by reproducing it’s esoteric shape and appearance precisely and unmatched.

The Definitive F-4S!! Reproduced with accuracy and beauty never before seen, the S-type is one of the most popular SWS F-4 kits! ZOUKEI-MURA development team is 16 places different from the J type that does not allow compromise!! Main wing 1. Leading edge slats (4 locations) 2. Adding a thin fence to the folding wing 3. Change in outer wing tip shape Cockpit 4. Half-moon Parts above the rear seat of the center canopy 5. Added rearview mirror on top of rear canopy 6. Cockpit optical sight and front and rear cockpit panels 7. Control Stick Around the torso 8. EL Lights panels (formation lights) on the nose, fuselage, wingtips, and vertical stabilizer 9. Changed the fuselage antenna from three to one 10. Added side antenna above the air intake 11. Changed the shape of the ram air intake on the left side of the nose Bottom surface of the fuselage 12. No antenna behind the nose landing gear compartment (J has one) 13. Changed the shape of the antenna under the right air intake 14. Reproduction of the underside of the fuselage center and reinforcement plate 15. Changes to the position and shape of the louvers on the underside of the nose 16. Change in the shape of the antenna next to the air brake on the underside of the main wing Masking stickers added to the 2025 re-production run! SWS "F-4S Phantom II"F-4J Phantom II MARINES" will have masking stickers added to the 2025 reproduction run! It comes with pre-slits for painting the canopy differently, and has excellent adhesive strength that allows you to peel it off without damaging the painted surface, making it easy to use! Enjoy high-precision painting! Why ZOUKEI-MURA SWS? Reproduce "real airplane" with magic Material "SWS (Super Wing Series)" is a plastic kit of an airplane model by the Zoukei-ZOUKEI-MURA Making the most of plastic with infinite expressiveness, we deliver the excitement of building a real airplane. Based on the actual machine coverage, the shape is thoroughly reproduced up to the internal mechanism. The slightly different lineup becomes a big topic among modelers all over the world every time a new work is announced. Parts such as pilots and diorama bases, and "Concept Note" are also available.
