Plastic model kit for a German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-10 fighter aircraft
Unlike the D-9, the D-10 was designed with heavier armament and a modified engine installation. It was to be powered by the Junkers Jumo 213 A, a liquid-cooled V-12 engine delivering approximately 1,750 hp at takeoff. The Jumo 213 enabled the Fw 190 D series to achieve significantly higher speeds than the radial-engine-powered Fw 190 A variants.
A key feature of the D-10 was its planned armament, which included a 30 mm MK 108 cannon firing through the propeller hub (motorkanone). This was to be supplemented by two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons mounted in the wings. These specifications would have made the aircraft particularly well-suited for operations against Allied bombers.
However, the Fw 190 D-10 remained largely a development and conversion project. Unlike the D-9, it never entered significant serial production. In the case of some surviving or reconstructed machines, there was post-war debate as to whether they were actually D-10 prototypes; the precise classification of individual machines is therefore partly disputed.
