Quinta Studio QP35010 FW 190A-8/R-8 Armor plates (Border Model) 1/35

The Quinta Studio QP35010 FW 190A-8/R-8 Armor plates set includes precisely crafted armor plates designed for the Focke-Wulf FW 190A-8/R-8 fighter model in the popular 1/35 scale. This product is dedicated to the Border Model kit, renowned for its high-quality details. The set belongs to the category of modeling accessories, detail sets for plastic model kits.

The FW 190A-8/R-8 variant, called the “Sturmbock”, was developed for the Luftwaffe during World War II—when, in the final phase of the conflict, Allied forces increasingly attacked Germany with large formations of strategic bombers. Sturmbock pilots operating between 1944 and 1945 needed extra protection—therefore, cockpit armor plates were installed to improve survivability during attacks on American B-17s and B-24s. The FW 190A-8/R-8 was used by Germany, specializing in breaking up bomber formations over the Reich’s territory.

Quinta Studio armor plates stand out for their perfectly reproduced details, faithful to historical documentation. The set is made of high-quality material—a 3D-printed plastic using state-of-the-art printing technologies, which ensures a fully realistic effect for both surface and details. The parts are ready to assemble—no complicated processing is required, and thanks to precision manufacturing, they fit the Border Model kit in 1/35 scale perfectly. The set does not contain metal or photo-etched parts but greatly enriches the finish of the cockpit or pilot’s cabin.
