Academy 12439 - 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9 'Papagei Staffel' Description

The Academy 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9 'Papagei Staffel' kit reproduces the Dora variant in compact scale with the squadron tail markings. Builders will find a faithful miniature suited to display cabinets or themed collections.

Operational Background and Appearance

The Fw190D-9 featured improved high-altitude capability thanks to its elongated nose and refined streamlining, setting it apart from earlier Fw190 marks. Nicknamed "Dora", this model reflects the colourful Papagei Staffel identifiers used by crews for quick recognition during sorties, replicated here in decal form.

Practical Modelling Notes

This kit is best handled by modellers with some prior experience, using careful painting and decal technique to bring out the finer details. The 1/72 scale captures essential cockpit and undercarriage features while keeping the finished model compact for display.
