Tamiya 60778 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190 D-9 JV44

This is Tamiya’s 1/72 scale plastic model of the Focke-Wulf FW190 D-9 JV44. Towards the end of WWII, despite increasing shortages, the Luftwaffe continued to use outstanding jet aircraft such as the Me262 jet fighter. In order to protect this extraordinary jet fighter, which was often attacked during take-off and landing, special units of defense fighters were organized. Such units were commanded by some of the remaining elite Luftwaffe pilots with Fw190 D-9 fighters. These Fw190 D-9 fighters had a new liquid-cooled engine like the current Allied fighters. The legendary JV44 used these fighters with distinct red and white stripes under the surface as an identification mark. The fully assembled model is 14.2cm long.
