Scale Reproduction of the FW190D-12 by Hobby Boss

The Focke-Wulf FW190D-12, refined under Dr Kurt Tank, is recognised for its Jumo 213F engine and high altitude capability, reaching around 730 km/h. The D-12 combined improved powerplant performance with the FW190's robust airframe design.

Hobby Boss's 1/48 kit captures the essential lines of the FW190D-12 and contains more than 120 pieces for assembly. The completed model measures approximately 213 mm in length with a 219 mm wingspan, featuring a detailed fuselage and an accurately modelled landing gear bay suitable for display or competition modelling.

Will this kit suit competition modelling standards?

Yes, with careful build techniques, seam filling, and accurate painting this kit can reach competition quality. Extras like precise decal alignment and subtle weathering help elevate the final model.

Are instructions clear for complex assemblies?

Instructions provide step-by-step assembly, but builders should dry-fit parts and follow subassembly order to avoid alignment issues, particularly around the landing gear and canopy.

What painting approach is recommended for authenticity?

Use reference photos for the D-12 scheme and consider layering base coats with subtle weathering. An airbrush and fine masking will produce faithful camouflage transitions and crisp markings.
