Academy 12480 - 1/72 Focke-Wulf FW-190A6/8: Scale Detail in 1/72

The Academy 1/72 FW-190A6/8 model lets builders recreate a noted WWII fighter at a convenient display size. Known for its rugged lines and operational flexibility, the FW-190 is well represented here with parts that capture its silhouette and key visual cues.

Historical Role and Model Fidelity

Introduced during the early 1940s, the FW-190 served across many fronts thanks to its reliable powerplant and design. The kit reflects distinguishing traits such as the round engine cowling and armament arrangement, providing a realistic small-scale interpretation for collectors.

Build Process and Tips

This kit balances accessibility and detail, suitable for those new to plastic modelling as well as veterans. Parts are crisply moulded and the instructions guide the sequence of assembly. For best results, dry-fit assemblies and take care with tiny components to maintain scale accuracy.

Presentation and Diorama Potential

Once assembled, the FW-190A6/8 suits tight displays and grouped collections of 1/72 aircraft. Its detailing responds well to weathering and finishing techniques, making it a worthy candidate for diorama scenes or standalone display.
