IBG 72544 FW190D-9 JABO/STURM 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the German fighter-bomber Focke-Wulf FW 190D-9 in the JABO/STURM variants. The 1/72 scale allows for a faithful reproduction of the aircraft's details in a compact format, making it an excellent compromise for modelers who value both accuracy and space-saving on their collection shelves.

The model depicts an aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The Focke-Wulf FW 190D-9, commonly known as "Dora," appeared on the frontlines at the end of 1944 and was used until Germany's surrender in May 1945. This was a developed variant of the famous FW 190, equipped with the inline Junkers Jumo 213 engine. This significantly improved high-altitude performance, enabling combat against Allied bombers and escort aircraft. The JABO (Jagd-Bomber) and STURM versions were specialized respectively for ground-attack/bombing missions and heavily armored attacks on bomber formations and ground targets.
