Of all the different variants, the A-8 armed with four 20mm cannon and two 13mm machine guns was the most widely produced. A sub-variant of the A-8 was the R2, which had two of the 20mm cannons replaced by more powerful 30mm guns and added armor protection for its role in attacking the giant 4-engined Allied bombers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRequires paint and assembly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44021692039302,"sku":"TAM61095","price":57.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1568\/7663\/files\/showimg-2026-05-30T171153.338.jpg?v=1780186327","url":"https:\/\/www.islandtoys.ca\/products\/1-48-focke-wulf-fw190-a-8-a-8-r2-plastic-model-airplane-kit","provider":"Island Toys \u0026 Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
