Japanese kit maker Zoukei-Mura has propeled the 1/32nd scale category into high altitude with a series of intricately-detailed styrene kits and after-market upgrades. Now the company has announced that it will release seven (and possibly eight) versions of the iconic Focke-Wulf 190 fighter plane.
Zoukei-Mura produces some of the most-interesting styrene kits loaded with detailing. Indeed some modelers complain that the detailing is often covered up once the kit is finished. But clearly their innovations have been noticed by other manufacturers.
The company's website promises at least these birds:

A-3
A-4
A-5
A-6
A-7
A-8
F-8

As you will see announced on Zoukei-Mura website the Fw-190s will be released in two different detail levels,( following is the SWS explanation) :-

"SWS Standard Series" and "SWS Basic Series"

"So far, we have used plastic, the magical material, to reproduce an aircraft with every single part in details; this time we've gone further and try to create the ultimate scale model."

What is "SWS Standard Series"

We place serious consideration in the reproduction of "the external beauty of the aircraft brought to the extreme". The idea is that you want to create only scale model which shape has been well considered.
This is one of my dreams that SWS kits will make come true.
I'm seriously considering the idea of making a Focke-Wulf exploiting its external shape.

This is the spirit we develop our SWS kits with!

Another series is called "SWS Basic Series".

"SWS Standard Series" and "SWS Basic Series". With these two development concepts I want to develop the ultimate airplane kit, using both methods. And we'll start with Fw 190.

I like these full-immersion works.
From the aircraft structure to every single part, it's like learning everything about the kit through its creation.

In that case, we recommend you the "SWS Standard Series"

No! I just like the beautiful shape of that Focke-Wulf.
I want to enjoy the suggestiveness of a model once you have easily complete your build.

In that case, we recommend you the "SWS Basic Series".

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.
