Hobby Boss 1/48 FW190D-13 Background and Significance

The FW190D-13 represents a specialised late-war fighter developed under Dr. Kurt Tank, created to meet urgent Luftwaffe needs. This D-13 variant is recognised for its co-axial cannon setup and use of the 20mm MG151/20, powered by the Jumo 213 engine family. Production was very limited, with only around thirty machines completed before the end of hostilities.

Kit Features and Construction Notes

This 1/48 model kit contains more than 130 parts, including five transparent pieces and photo-etched components for enhanced surface detail. The fuselage and wing work shows careful engineering to match the prototype profile, and the detailed undercarriage bay improves the overall realism during assembly.

Why It Works in a Collection

Finished builds serve well in mixed displays or as an instructional example of late-war fighter design. The authentic Luftwaffe paint scheme included in the box will suit collectors aiming for period accuracy.

Yes, apply decals after base coats and seal with a gloss varnish before weathering. This helps achieve clean marking placement and protects edges during subsequent weathering.
