Strike Witches Focke Wulf Fw 190D-12 (Hobby Boss 1/48)

Some photos of my Strike Witches themed Fw 190D-12 in 1/48. It’s the Hobby Boss kit, a beautiful model with no fit issues, but the decals were too sticky, and I had to remove one that refused to move on the surface and replace it with a spare. The brand provides separate flaps, but indicates to glue them in the closed position. I glued them lowered.

Strike Witches is a manga and anime where Europe gets invaded by an alien race called Neuroi in 1939. By 1944, in Britannia, there’s an elite unit called 501st Joint Fighter Wing “Strike Witches,” a unit formed by multiple aces from Europe and the US that fight the Neuroi in the skies using magic to fly. And heavy machineguns to shoot down the Neuroi.

TLDR: Strike Witches is WW2 but with cute anime girls and fan service.

I’m not familiar with “Strike Witches” but your build looks very good.

Ok, now you got me curious. I checked the first episode here. It’s a bit unusual, but I’m intrigued.

I had the same thoughts at first, but ended up liking the anime a lot. There used to be a site where to watch the show dubbed, but it’s been infested with pop ups that don’t let you search anymore. Luckily I downloaded all the episodes before that happened.

Turned out nice, was not my immediate thought when i saw the topic title though.
