Responsibility details are not available.
This injection-molded plastic kit from the manufacturer Hobby Boss captures the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in the late D-11 variant, that is, in the form with the lengthened nose for the liquid-cooled V engine. The 1:48 scale is the most widespread one for fighters of the Second World War and the finished model is a reasonable size for a display case. The box holds a plastic kit to be glued together and painted.
The Fw 190 was among the best German fighters of the war. The original versions were powered by an air-cooled radial engine, but the later D series received the liquid-cooled inverted V12 Junkers Jumo 213, on account of which the nose was lengthened and a fuselage plug was added behind the cockpit. Hence the nickname long-nose. The D-11 variant had the Jumo 213F engine and did away with the cowl machine guns, the armament moving into the wing. Only very few were built and they reached combat only in the last weeks of the war, which makes this a rare form of the type and one sought after among modelers.
Finish the cockpit interior before closing the fuselage, because on the late machines it is clearly visible under the one-piece canopy. The joints of the lengthened nose and the fuselage plug call for careful sanding, so that the engraved lines are not lost; it pays to restore them with a scribing needle after sanding. Late German schemes tended to be inconsistent and hastily applied, which is a rewarding subject for spraying area by area and adding chipping. Lay a gloss clear coat on before the decals and a matte one over them. Add light marks of use to the leading edges and the wing root.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
