Hobby Boss 80245 Fw190A-6 Fighter Model in 1:72 Scale

The Focke-Wulf Fw190 proved a capable and adaptable single-seat fighter during World War II. Production exceeded 20,000 aircraft, and about 6,000 were used in fighter-bomber roles. The A-6 variant introduced a larger, lighter wing to improve firepower against US heavy bombers. Between May 1943 and March 1944 roughly 1,055 A-6 examples were built.

Assembly Highlights

The Hobby Boss 80245 kit captures the A-6 profile in 1:72 scale, emphasising the revised wing planform and surface detail. The parts layout supports a clean assembly with attention to seam lines and panel joins; careful sanding and test-fitting will improve the result.

Display and Collection

When finished, the model provides a compact but convincing representation of the Fw190A-6 for shelf display or a themed diorama. Its period silhouette sits well alongside other popular WWII types in small scale.

What tools are recommended to avoid damaging small parts?
