The kit built up...
Just before the official launch we have the new 190D built up by MiniArt's model makers so you can see some of the features.

The kit build up: 1/48th scale Focke-Wulf FW 190D-9. Mimetall Prod. Jagdgeschwader 301 "Advanced Kit" from MiniArt Models.
The built-up test kit shows similar features to the "basic kit" of the same aircraft from MiniArt, however. This kit features several improvements to just the plastic on supply with new sprues and more details.
The opened cowling makes an attractive option for modellers here.
Nose cowlings closed here
The overhead view of the Junkers Jumo. This 1,750-horsepower engine replaced the earlier BMW 801 radial engine to improve high-altitude performance, enabling speeds up to 426 mph (685 km/h).
The same view with the closed cowlings option.
A hint for this with eagle eyes shows the flaps under the wings lowered as they would be on the ground. These are detailed with photo-etched parts.
The engine can be shown with the cowling and radiator partly removed and completely off
The 12-cylinder liquid-cooled Junkers Jumo 213A inline engine is a centrepiece of this kit. It is only sparingly used here. You may have to supply some wiring harnesses yourself.
A view of the opened cowlings for the engine and the gun bay is shown here – for those who like to show it all.
The opened nose housed the covering for the twin synchronised 13 mm MG 131 machine guns in front of the cockpit, typically with 475 rounds per gun. These replaced the smaller-calibre guns of earlier models, supplementing the two 20mm MG 151/20 cannons in the wing roots.

That is all we know about this kit so far. See more about all of MiniArt's kits on their website...
