A-8 dimensions, BMW 801 D-2 engine and standard armament. The museum object is a surviving airframe, not a complete factory specification.

The external dimensions and major equipment are documented. Surface profiles, small fittings, cockpit spacing and finishes are reconstructed. A restored or later-variant component is not treated as an exact A-8 factory drawing.
