Hobby Boss 81720 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW190D-12 R14 Detailed Scale Kit  [HB-81720]

FW190D-12 R14 Scale Replica with Period Accuracy

The Focke-Wulf FW190D-12 R14 remains a standout WWII design, recognised for its high-speed capabilities and distinctive silhouette. Designed by Dr. Kurt Tank, the FW190 family evolved to meet the need for improved fighters, and the D-12 R14 features a tall vertical stabilizer similar to later Ta 152 and D-10 variants.

This Hobby Boss kit lets modellers recreate that historic type with care. The set contains over 110 parts and challenges builders with fine detail work including a defined fuselage and wing assembly, accurate gear bay components, and a replica MK108 30mm cannon firing through the propeller hub. The central bomb rack is also modelled to accept a torpedo attachment.

Assembly Notes and Fit

Builders who enjoy precise fits and historical accuracy will find this kit rewarding. The single photo-etched part adds realistic surface detail, while careful sanding and careful gluing will bring out the best in the sculpted features. Patience is recommended to capture the FW190D-12 R14's profile correctly.
