This model is designed for demanding modellers who value detail and authenticity.

Historical Overview

The Focke Wulf FW 190D-11 is one of the last versions of the legendary "Butcher Bird." This design was developed as a response to the need for an even faster fighter capable of engaging high-flying Allied bombers. The aircraft entered Luftwaffe service at the end of World War II, around 1944. The D-11 version featured an extended fuselage and a more powerful Junkers Jumo 213F engine, which resulted in improved high-altitude performance. In practice, the Fw 190D-11 was used in air combat over the territory of the Third Reich, defending German skies in the final months of the global conflict.
