Hobby Boss 81720 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW190D-12 R14 Historical Model Kit  [HB-81720]

Detailed 1/48 Scale FW190D-12 R14 for Scale Builders

The Focke-Wulf FW190D-12 R14 stands out as a late-war fighter type with a distinctive profile and notable armament. Under the direction of Dr. Kurt Tank, the FW190 variants were refined over time, and the D-12 R14 is identifiable by its enlarged vertical stabilizer reminiscent of late series types.

This Hobby Boss kit provides parts to reproduce the aircraft in 1/48 scale, with over 110 components including detailed fuselage and wing sections, precise gear bay detail, and the MK108 30mm cannon mounted through the prop shaft. The model also includes a centre-line rack designed to carry a torpedo as a display option.

Build Strategy and Detail Work

Careful trial fitting and progressive painting will yield the best results. The inclusion of a photo-etched detail piece lifts the realism but requires steady hands and suitable adhesives; sanding and seam-filling ahead of painting will keep panel lines crisp.
