There's so much in this set of blueprints you can almost hear Kurt Tank thinking and it is far better than any book you'll ever read on the subject of the Fw 190:
This is for serious Fw 190, A, D and Ta 152 constructors - all Fw 190 A and D, Ta 152 blueprints, engineering drawings, photographs, manuals for the airframes and engines in our collection. This is a massive amount of data. If you're skilled at reading blueprints and are familiar with aircraft design, you will be able to construct a full size or scale Focke Wulf 190 A, D or Ta 152 from this data collection with minimal additional research. Note that the blueprints are all mechanical for the airframe - there are no electrical blueprints so far. All files are the common formats accepted by all computers - .tiff .pdf and .jpg and can be easily printed or alternatively imported easily into CAD applications such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Maya, 3DS Max etc. These 3 data DVDs are a giant leap forward for your Fw project. The majority of the files are scanned as line art (black and white). Some of the files (shown below) are in colour and can be used as posters for private use. Resolution on all files is very good so that what is visible in the oiginal is legible in the file. We scan at same size, full resolution when compared to the originals. Many are between 1.25 and 1.5 metres long, for example.
Quality and quantity:

Our products are professionally produced in every way from their content right down to the art direction on the labels. Everything is as sharp and clear as the original document. Fold-out pages and oversized sheets wherever present, are actually presented as fold-out pages and oversized sheets and are not reduced down. All scanning is done full colour at 300ppi resolution and higher. We can't stand manuals or blueprints that are produced as black and white bitmaps - they usually look a lot worse than photocopies. Our CD manuals and many of our blueprints give you the actual experience of looking at the original manual or blueprint - simply because we pay attention to detail and we scan at high resolution in full colour. Our manuals and blueprints print beautifully from your home PC or at an outside service and they are ideal for anyone collecting documents in support of a restoration project or for model makers who wish to detail from orginal documents. This CD is PC and Mac friendly. Ideal for aircraft restorers or super-detailers and they make superb gifts. Check our feedback.
Focke Wulf Fw190 A:
Blueprints included for the Fw 190 A-8 (described in sub-assembly groupings): BMW Cowling, Focke Wulf fuselage and wing blueprints with ordinates, former and wing rib blueprints. blown canopy and framework, instrument panels with full dimensions, windscreen and supporting structures with ordinates and full dimensions, fuselage contours with ordinates, rudder with ordinates and dimensions. Additionally, the fuselage contour lines are traced off the original Bremen document and supplied in .dxf, ai and .art format. so that they can be opened in AutoCAD or Solid Works or any other 3D programme, without laborious data entry - you can open in a CAD application and read off the co-ordinates easily. There are many uses for data in these formats - driving cnc tools, parts manufacture, illustrations in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, the creation of 3D models in Maya, 3DS Max etc. No autotrace programmes have been used in the transfer of this data. The contour lines are full size.
Focke Wulf Fw190D:
Blueprints included for the D-9 (described in sub-assembly groupings): Junkers Jumo Cowling, Jumo 213 A u C engine installation blueprint with ordinates, Focke Wulf fuselage and wing blueprints with ordinates, late model blown canopy with ordinates, D-9 type tail unit with ordinates and full dimensions. Note that all Fw 190 drawings relate one to another and a large number of components are interchangeable between types A-7, A-8, D-9, D-11, D-13, Ta 152 C, E and H. The Fw 190 D is an interim aircraft type made of very few parts that are unique to the D series. For example, the Fw 190 D Bremen Factory Parts Catalogue lists only 8-190 and 8-152 series parts numbers in its construction. The aircraft is essentially a bridge between the 190 A series and the Ta 152 C.
And the Ta152 versions C, E and H:
Blueprints included for the Ta 152 (described in sub assembly groupings): Junkers Jumo cowling with ordinates, radiator housing GA, pressurised blown canopy GA, Ta 152 E, H and C fuselage and C type wet wing ordinates (applicable to Ta 152 E and Ta 152 C), Ta 152 C engine mount, Ta 152 E, H and C tail unit with ordinates. The fuselage for the Ta 152 types is in fact an A-7 with modifications. The Ta 152, particularly the C model powered with the DB 603 is the aircraft that Kurt Tank always had in mind even when drawing the D series.
