HBB81747 - Hobbyboss - 1/48 Fw 190 V-18 High-Altitude Prototype 

This is HobbyBoss kit No. 81747, a 1/48 scale model of the Fw 190 V-18 High-Altitude Prototype. The kit represents the distinctive experimental configuration with the long-nose DB 603 engine installation, annular radiator layout, and unique turbocharger-related modifications that set it apart from standard Fw 190 variants. It features finely engraved surface detail, a relatively simple parts breakdown typical of HobbyBoss’s 1/48 aircraft range, and clear parts for the canopy. The unusual prototype configuration gives the model a very distinctive appearance compared to operational Fw 190A or Fw 190D variants, making it popular among modelers interested in Luftwaffe experimental aircraft.
