Hobby Boss 80228 FW 190D-9 1:72 Scale Background

Introduced in August 1944, the FW190D-9 represents a late-war high-altitude fighter evolution built on the FW190A8 platform. The red underside treatment with white stripes was applied so ground-based anti-aircraft crews could readily recognise friendly machines.

Historical Display Value

The Hobby Boss 1:72 kit reproduces the FW190D-9s key lines and markings, offering a compact museum-style example for cabinets or themed displays. Accuracy in surface detail supports realistic finish and weathering techniques.

Builder Guidance

Moderate modelling ability is recommended for this kit due to small components and the need for precise painting. Attention to seam filling, sanding and decal placement will yield a convincing final model that reflects the prototypes wartime appearance.
