Italeri 1312 - 1/72 FW 190 D-9 Scale Model Kit Special Edition  [IT-1312S]

Compact Italeri 1312 1/72 FW 190 D-9 Model

The Italeri 1/72 FW 190 D-9 kit recreates the late-war Focke-Wulf fighter in a scale that suits both display and collection. The D-9 is noted for improved altitude capability and combat flexibility.

Design Upgrades and Performance in Service

Introduced during the Second World War, the FW 190 D-9 employed the Junkers Jumo 213A engine to enhance high-altitude speed and handling, helping it to perform above 7,000 meters against aircraft such as the P-51 Mustang.

Armed with two 20mm cannons and two 13mm machine guns, the D-9 also undertook ground attack sorties including during Operation Bodenplatte. Production reached roughly 650 to 700 units, and only four survive today.

Kit Highlights and Display Tips

The kit offers finely detailed parts and authentic decals for a historically faithful model. At 1/72 scale the assembled aircraft is a tidy exhibit piece that fits into multi-aircraft displays or solo presentations.
