KIT: Loon Models 1/72 FW-190D-11/12/13 conversion
KIT #: 72006
PRICE: $11.00 from www.rollmodels.com
DECALS: None
REVIEWER: Scott Van Aken
NOTES: Resin conversion

 

The 1/72 scale modeler has not been as well catered to in regards to conversions and such as has the 1/48 modeler. This particular set allows the modeler to build any one of three late war FW-190D versions; the -11, -12, or -13. The set includes a new spinner with the 20mm blast tube, VS 9 paddle bladed prop, two 30mm wing gun blisters, the larger supercharger intake and two 30mm cannon barrels. These parts are for the Tamiya 1/72 FW-190D-9 kit

The resin is very nicely done and while it does have the usual flash, 5 minutes with sandpaper will take care of it as it is very thin and easily removed. Instructions are quite comprehensive and go into great detail on each variant. There are also drawings that show any modifications that will be needed. A large reference section is provided so that you can find what you need to properly do your model.
