About product

The long nose that changed the character of the aircraft

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 received an inverted V12 Jumo 213 in place of the radial engine, and with it a nose about a meter longer. It earned the nickname Dora among its pilots at once, and respect among Allied crews in the autumn of 1944: at higher altitudes it finally matched opponents that the earlier forms could only keep up with near the ground.

Armored glass as a task of its own

At the front this type carries laminated bulletproof glass several centimeters thick, set in a sloping frame, and behind the pilot's head another armored plate. On the model that layer shows by being markedly thicker than the glazing around it, and its edge invites masking by eye. That is where the most common mistake arises, because the frame of the armored glass is wider than on the other panels and an asymmetrical line gives it away at once. A pre-cut shape holds that width along its whole length.

What is in the package and what is not

Masking for both faces of the clear parts is included, that is the surface and the reverse. The set belongs to the manufacturer's most basic version, so it is limited entirely to the glazing. Do not look in it for crosses, numbers or other markings of the machine; those are obtained separately.

Which kit the cut is figured for

The starting model is Revell in 1:32 scale. The blown cockpit canopy differs between competing kits more than any other part, so try the mask before peeling the backing off and watch whether it seats even where the curvature is greatest.

FAQ

It is laminated and therefore thicker. Its frame comes out wider on the model than on ordinary glazing and that width is hard to hold by eye. A pre-cut part keeps it the same along its whole length.

The reverse shapes are useful even then. The frames show through the clear plastic and an unpainted interior is visible especially from above, which is where most photographs of finished models look into the cockpit.

It comes from the Revell kit in 1:32 scale. The blown part of the canopy tends to be curved differently by every manufacturer, so lay the mask on dry first.

No. This is the most basic version, aimed at the glazing. The markings of the machine have to be added from another source.
