Tamiya 300061041-1:48 WWII The German Focke Wulf, Fw190 D-9;

Detailed 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the Focke-Wulf 190D-9, a World War II single-engine fighter of the German Luftwaffe. Nicknamed "Dora 9" by Luftwaffe pilots and called "Butcher-bird" by Allied pilots, the D Series Focke-Wulf 190 inspired both fear and respect by all who encountered it in combat. The FW-190 D embodied all of the features of a great fighter aircraft: speed, agility, and survivability. The D Series Fw190 was equipped with a round shaped liquid-cooled in-line "Jumo" engine with a circular radiator mounted in front, whereas the A Series 190s were fitted with a variety of air-cooled BMW radial engines. The in-line "Jumo" engine offered improved performance at high altitudes and gave the D-Series Fw190 its distinctive long nose and extended aft fuselage to counter-balance the added weight of the Jumo engine. The combination of a high performance bomber engine and a proven fighter airframe made the Fw190D one of the most capable fighter aircraft of World War II. This beautifully detailed 1/48 scale model kit features: Detailed cockpit. Optional open or closed canopy with two types of canopy included. Optional open or closed cowl flaps. Rotating propeller. One pilot figure included. Decals with 3 sets of marking included.
