EagleParts #44-32 – Focke-Wulf 190 D-9 Tail Wheel

Description

EagleParts #44-32 Focke-Wulf 190 D-9 Tail Wheel

Included in this kit: 4 pieces; Yoke assembly, wheel and 2 fin inserts.
The tail wheel of Hasegawa’s Fw 190 D-9 kit is not very detailed, and includes the tire and yoke molded together as one piece. This EagleParts set is designed to replace the tail wheel provided in the Hasegawa 1/32 Fw 190D-9 kit. This set includes an insert that details the wheel well interior, separate strut, drag link, yoke, and a correct tire. It should be noted that many Fw 190 D-9s featured a smooth-tread, balloon tire, with fine mold-break lines that are visible radiating out from the hub, in a similar fashion to the main tires. This is also the proper tire for the D-11 and D-13. Included on the yoke are the correct weld seams. This tire and yoke assembly have been faithfully duplicated from the originals in the personal collection of Jerry Crandall.
