Why this kit matters The original Focke Wulf Fw 190 (designed by Kurt Tank) was one of the Luftwaffe's premier single-seat low-wing fighters of World War II. The D-series ('Dora' models) were developed with a longer nose and a more powerful engine to extend performance at altitude.

The D-12 R14 variant was a proposed torpedo-carrying version, featuring the large fin typical of the Ta 152 and the ability to carry a centre-line torpedo rack.

The kit from Hobby Boss captures this unique variant in plastic, giving model-makers the ability to recreate a lesser-seen version of the Fw 190 line-an attractive piece for both historical accuracy and display value in the aircraft modelling hobby world.
