Assembly:

The Advanced edition includes extra detail and photo-etched parts (attached with cyanoacrylate glue). The full engine is worth painting and shading before enclosing it; the fuselage can be closed with the engine section exposed or covered. The cockpit interior is painted before joining the halves.

We recommend applying the decals over a gloss coat, which limits the risk of decal silvering, and after drying sealing them with a matt or satin coat.

Required tools:

• Modelling nippers
• Modelling knife or scalpel
• Files and sandpaper
• Plastic cement
• Cyanoacrylate glue (for photo-etched and small parts)
• Precise modelling tweezers
• Primer, brushes and modelling paints
• Modelling wash to emphasise details

About the aircraft – Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9:

The Fw 190 D-9 "Dora" was a version of the famous Focke-Wulf fighter in which the BMW 801 radial engine was replaced with the inline Junkers Jumo 213, lengthening the nose. This gave the characteristic "long-nose" silhouette and better performance at medium and high altitudes. The aircraft entered service late in the war, in 1944.

• Length: approx. 10.19 m
