Accurate 1/48 FW190D-12 R14 Scale Model

The Focke-Wulf FW190D-12 R14 is a significant WWII fighter type, noted for its streamlined fuselage and distinctive tail. Designed by Dr. Kurt Tank, the FW190 line was continuously upgraded, and the D-12 R14's larger vertical stabilizer reflects those late-war developments.

This Hobby Boss kit enables a detailed replica of the aircraft, offering more than 110 parts that include intricately moulded wing and fuselage panels, precise gear bay detail, and the MK108 30mm cannon set through the propeller hub. The central mount is modelled for the option of a torpedo on the centre-line bomb rack.

Preparation and Finishing Advice

Preparing parts by removing flash, test-fitting major components, and treating the photo-etched element with care will produce the best results. Fine paints and careful masking will help reproduce the subtle panel lines and markings associated with the FW190D-12 R14.

The kit captures the D-12 R14s tall vertical stabilizer, the integrated MK108 30mm cannon through the prop hub, and the centre-line rack prepared for a torpedo fit.
Yes, the kit includes one photo-etched piece which adds fine detail; careful bending and adhesive selection are required to fit it properly.
Intermediate to advanced modelling skills are recommended because of the level of detail and small components included in the kit.
Use a fine tipped brush or an airbrush for base coats, and apply washes or dry-brushing to bring out panel lines and cockpit instruments for a realistic finish.
