Category: 3 - Beginner (I think)
Scale: 1/48
Subject: Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9, Black 1 (W.nr.210003), IV./JG26 - 1945
Kit: Eduard Fw 190D-9 Weekend Edition
Accessories: OOB
*Gulp* First time group build participant and apologies for yet another Fw190 (and D9 too).
I'll try not to disgrace myself
(If this goes well I may be tempted to enter either an Me163A, Me410-B2 or Me110-G4 as well)
From the instruction blurb:
Oblt. Hans Dortenmann, a 38 kill fighter ace and Knight's Cross holder, noted in his memoirs that he used Dora W.Nr. 210003 as a personal mount from September 1944 to the end of hostilities. He personally destroyed her at the end of hostilities to avoid falling into enemy hands. At first, during Dortenmann´s service with III/JG 54, the airplane was marked 'Red 1'. In late February, III/JG 54 was redesignated IV/JG 26, and Dortenmann was appointed Staffelkapitän of 12/JG 26. His Dora became 'Black 1'. The White-Black band appeared on the tail as well as IV. Gruppe's wave. According to Dortenmann´s memoirs, the original RLM 75/83 camouflage scheme was changed to RLM 82/83, but the reason for re-painting remains unknown. A new style blown canopy was installed instead of the original flat one. The vertical part of the tail unit was painted yellow from JG 54 days.
Tally Ho!
