Trumpeter 1/24 Scale Fw 190D-9 Stab IV/JG3 1945 Model Kit

Trumpeter 1/24 Scale Fw 190D-9 Stab IV/JG3 1945 Model Kit The Fw-190D interceptor was considered by many German pilots to be the finest piston-engined fighter in Luftwaffe service. The Fw-190D was a re-engined and reengineered development of the widely-used Fw-190A. The first production variant was designated D-9. The multirole D-9 carried bombs in some versions and radar in others and was even faster than the D-1. Nicknamed "Dora-9", service began in October 1944. On their first operational mission with the new Fw-190D-9, II/JG-26 shot down four British "Lancaster" bombers and one "Mosquito" fighter for the loss of one "Dora-9". Several Fw-190D-9 equipped groups, including JG-2 and JG-26, participated in airfield attacks by nearly 1,000 aircraft during the ill-advised "Operation Base Plate" opening the Battle of the Bulge on January 1, 1945. By the time JG-6 received 150 D-9s in April 1945, the bombing campaign had so restricted fuel supplies that only four aircraft could fly at a time.    SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 425 mm Wingspan: 437 mm Total Parts: 150pcs   FEATURES: Photo Etched Parts Aileron & Flap hinges Film Parts Instrument parts Paint Schemes: Fw190D-9 Stab IV./JG3 Mar.1945 Prenzlau/Germany Engine full detail w/optional position cowling Sprung landing gear   Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit.
