SKLADEM 1/32 Fw 190 D-9 Propeller VS-111 (HAS)

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 is a late version of the German fighter from the end of the Second World War. It is told apart from the earlier versions at a glance by its lengthened nose and longer tail, which earned it a nickname derived from that long nose. The D-9 version carried a propeller of the VS-111 type, whose blade shape differs clearly from the propellers of the older versions, so it is a part that catches the eye at once on a finished model.

What the set contains

This is an accessory part in 1:32 scale, specifically a VS-111 propeller for a model of the Fw 190 D-9. The abbreviation HAS in the name refers to the kit the part is matched to, so check before you buy that it matches the kit you are building. The number of pieces, the material of the parts and the recommended assembly procedure are given in the manufacturer's description and instructions.

Building and painting tips

Cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder down so as not to damage the leading edge of the blade. Wash and degrease the part before painting. Fit the propeller dry and check that the spinner seats without a gap and that the axis runs square to the front of the fuselage; a misaligned propeller spoils the impression of the whole model. Choose the glue according to the material the manufacturer states, because polystyrene cement holds on polystyrene only.
