Hasegawa 08069 1/32 Focke Wulf Fw190D-9

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The Fw190A series was developed as a support fighter for the Bf109, and became a masterpiece fighter that surpassed the Bf109. However, the Fw190A series had one weakness - the engine power suddenly dropped when the aircraft rose to altitudes of 6,000m or above. To address this weakness, the D series was developed, equipped with a liquid-cooled Jumo 213 engine, but the improvement in high altitude performance, which was the target, was not sufficient. However, due to its significantly improved flight performance at medium altitudes and below, the German Air Force decided to adopt it as a new medium-altitude fighter, and production of the first mass-produced D-series model, the D-9, began in August 1944.
