Hobby Boss 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW190D-13: Heritage and Background

The Focke-Wulf FW190D-13 reflects late-war German fighter design under Dr. Kurt Tank. The D-13 is notable for its co-axial cannon arrangement, mounting a 20mm MG151/20 and powered by the Jumo 213 series engine. With only about thirty examples completed before the war ended, the D-13 remains a notable variant for historians and scale modellers alike.

Assembly and Detail Level

Model builders will find this 1/48 kit delivers a detailed build with over 130 parts, including five clear components and dedicated photo-etched elements. The moulded fuselage and wings capture the aircraft lines faithfully, and the detailed gear bay adds realism during construction. Expect a satisfying build that rewards careful assembly and finishing.

Presentation and Historical Fit

This finished model works well as both a display piece and an educational reference, demonstrating advances in fighter design during the period. The included Luftwaffe camouflage allows for an authentic finish that stands out in any scale aircraft lineup.

The kit has fine detail and photo-etched parts, so it is best suited to modellers with some experience in 1/48 aircraft kits. Patience and basic modelling tools will help achieve a clean finish.
Use historically matched acrylic or enamel paints in muted greens, greys and browns. Light weathering and subtle panel shading enhance scale realism on the finished model.
Photo-etched pieces add fine detail but need careful handling. Use a sharp hobby knife, fine tweezers and cyanoacrylate or specialised etch glue for best results.
