Summary of the Hobby Boss 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW190D-13

The FW190D-13 emerged late in World War II under Dr. Kurt Tank and was intended to sharpen Luftwaffe fighter performance. This variant featured a co-axial cannon armament with the 20mm MG151/20 and was driven by the Jumo 213 engine family. Only about thirty were completed, making it an interesting subject for scale historians and modellers.

Detail and Build Considerations

Hobbyists will find over 130 parts in this 1/48 scale kit, including five clear elements and photo-etched items for refined detail. The fuselage and wing mouldings reproduce the aircraft contours accurately, and the defined gear bay contributes to an authentic final model when assembled and painted with care.

Display Potential and Educational Value

The completed model makes a strong display item and a practical example of late-war fighter engineering. The supplied Luftwaffe camouflage options allow for historically credible finishes that suit museum-style displays or dedicated collections.

Yes, the accurate proportions and detailed gear bay make it suitable for solo display or incorporation into a small diorama showing ground servicing or static museum scenes.
A subtle weathering approach with panel line washes and light chipping will emphasise the moulded detail without obscuring the surface features.
Small items can sometimes be replaced through aftermarket suppliers or sprue parts from donor kits; keeping packaging and sprues organised during assembly helps prevent loss.
