Low-UHF band frequency Maritime Radar System FuG-200 Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MD7201

Metallic Details MD7201 is a photo-etched exterior detail set representing the FuG-200 “Hohentwiel” maritime radar system in 1/72. This type of upgrade focuses on thin antenna geometry, so the radar array and supporting elements can appear as separate parts rather than thicker molded shapes.

The set is intended for aircraft projects such as the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor and Junkers Ju 290. It is a universal aftermarket set (the aircraft model kit is not included).

The FuG-200 is a period maritime patrol radar system. Placement and exact configuration can vary by aircraft fit and reference, so treat the set as configuration-dependent for your chosen build.

For modelers: before committing to glue, dry-fit the radar elements and check alignment from front, side, and top views—small angle shifts can be noticeable on antenna arrays. If your model has delicate surface details nearby, mark the attachment points with pencil first, then fix the parts in short sections to help keep everything straight. Prime the metal lightly to help paint grip and to reduce sheen differences against plastic.

FAQ

Which aircraft can this radar set be used on?

The set is listed for aircraft such as the Fw 200 Condor and Ju 290. Use references for your specific version to confirm placement and layout.

Do I need to remove molded kit parts before adding photo-etch?

Sometimes. Compare the kit’s radar area to the metal parts and remove only what prevents the photo-etch from sitting flat and aligned.

What is the safest way to keep antenna parts aligned?

Dry-fit first, then glue in short sections while checking symmetry from multiple angles. A simple pencil guideline on the surface can help keep the array straight.
