Bit of a letdown, if you ask me - I'm not au courant with the state of the FW-190D art by any means, but I'd have thought we already had plenty of them, and IMG could have followed some other path less travelled, so to speak. But, if it's true, then I hope it's a huge financial success for them! It might even be the ultimate FW-190D in (I assume) 1/72 scale!

John Thompson Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 It's a popular and appealing subject, IMHO. Maybe it'll be the Border Lancaster of FW-190D kits - look on the bright side! I hope they sell a ton of them! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focke Wulf Fw.190D? Could fit. To be confirmed. five major manufacturing plants - Langenhagen, Cottbus, Sorau, Nordenahm, Kassel four production versions - D, D-9, D-11, D-12 triple-blade propeller - yes two engine types - Junkers Jumo 213A & 213F Four production versions for the Dora is a bit of a stretch.. D-9, D-12 and D-13 were production versions, the few D-0 were preproduction, other variants were never built. So yes, 4 including a preproduction series though. Of course the drawing published sure looks like a Dora... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I have Airfix, Academy, Tamiya, Italeri, Hasegawa and Hobby Boss Dora’s so I don’t need another one. However only Hobby Boss is easily available so perhaps it makes sense ! ( I’ll probably buy one anyway) Wulfman Edited November 13, 2021 by Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) OK, info is released so I can confirm - Fw 190D family in 1/72. Quote After years of intense work, we are ready to present a new chapter in our production program. We, at IBG Models, constantly develop our capabilities in terms of both technology and content. This approach is a continuation of our commitment to the highest standards with the best possible representation of details and modelling in a kit form of as many versions of a subject airplane as possible. This kit is another milestone on our road to perfection. Our goal is to set new standards for 1/72 scale and finally give you an ultimate kit. Our latest 1/72 project, Focke-Wulf Fw 190D, is a brand new set that was created based on the very broad factory documentation of the aircraft and uncountable period photos. We have made every effort to render the model to scale as faithfully as possible and in the process we’ve uncovered many aspects not described until now. This means that our kit may or may not comply with the modeller's plans published so far. Project highlights include: All main versions are covered including D-9, D-11, D-13 and D-15 variants All subcontractor of D-9 variations are included, covering external detail differences We've made every effort to faithfully reproduce surface details, including hinges, covers, inspection hatches, fasteners and rivets As the engine was visible through the wheel wells, a detailed replica of it (specific for a given version) was included in the kit We used an unorthodox, ingenious solution for wing fitting, to enable the reproduction of details on the fuselage underside We include a large set of stencil decals, covering all possible variants, including information/instruction plates Decals are printed by Techmod, ensuring extremely high resolution, perfect register and good reaction to softening fluids In our opinion this is simply the best Fw 190D kit ever produced in 1/72 scale! More details, renderings and photos coming very soon! Edited November 13, 2021 by Piotr Mikolajski Info from IBG Models 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I’ve always liked the ‘190D, and with the available 1/72 kits being somewhat lacklustre (Hasegawa being the best, imo), I’ll welcome anything that improves on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V. Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Prudent decision, if planned to incorporate both D-11 and D-13, all current kits have smaller or bigger omissions, and with mentioned above 7-8 different boxings can be easily achieved-smart decision by IBG.

ChristianK Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Even though I don't get my Stuka this is still great news. Even the best Fw 190 D kits in 1/72 are a bit dated now and pretty basic (Hasegawa/Academy and Tamiya). A replacement engineered to modern standards is very welcome. Well done IBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Not really ‘my thing’ but a sensible, commercially based decision to fill the coffers for other types. Trevor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I think the Fw 190D is a really good choice. Lots of colorful marking options and the competition is all rather dated and, apart from the Tamiya kit, not that easy to obtain other than from second hand outlets. I thought this would be a likely subject for Airfix to do and it still might be, being as the IBG kit won’t make any money for Airfix and, I would imagine, will be harder to obtain in the UK.

Phas3e Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Great choice, the AZ model was probably the best of the 72nd options and you cant really get those anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I am waiting for the D-23, anything else is not interesting. Now seriously, if they'll tackle the Fw-190B that be another matter ... or the other prototypes like the V18 for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, that would be a very different matter. Above all, a matter of poor management of the company's assets 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
