IBG 72537 Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 Mimetal (Broad Tail) 1/72

The IBG 72537 Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 Mimetal (Broad Tail) model in 1/72 scale is a precisely designed plastic model kit, representing one of the most interesting and rarely seen variants of the German fighter aircraft from the final period of World War II. The “Broad Tail” version was produced at the Mimetall plant in Cottbus and featured a wide rudder and vertical tail surface, often sourced from the Ta 152 fighter. The modified empennage provided better maneuverability and controllability at high altitudes.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 was one of the most advanced German fighter planes at the end of World War II (used in 1944-1945), introduced as a response to Allied air superiority. Equipped with a Junkers Jumo 213A-1 engine and an extended fuselage, it was characterized by high performance and was used, among others, for air support during Operation Bodenplatte, as well as for defending Germany against Allied bombers. This aircraft was used exclusively by the Luftwaffe.
