**** DONE: Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9, Black 1, Oblt. Hans Dortenmann W.nr.210003

Once again, I fear you are all being too kind (but don't stop, please )

Moving on again - she's almost ready for her first coat of Future

Needs a little more work on some of the panel lines I think.

Also - having looked at some of the material available online I'm tending towards making her 'Red 1' rather than 'Black 1' - what do people think?

The sources I've seen tend to show Black 1 as having only the rudder painted yellow, with Red 1 having the entire vertical surface yellow

Red 1 had 75/83 upper surfaces and flat canopy, while Black 1 had 82/83 uppers and blown canopy.This change occurred in the late part of feb 45 when III/JG 54 became IV/JG26 and the Black/white Reich defence bands were added and Dortenmann now commanded 14/JG26. The entire vertical surface of yellow was continued from Red 1 through to Yellow 1, including Black 1 in between!

Peachy - many thanks for that Wayne.

Right, in which case, she's about ready for decals.

Nice work and painting, so far, Paul - and pretty close to the scheme on the box.

She's looking tops, get the decals on and she'll really start to shine.

Couple of bits and pieces to tidy up and highlight.

Apologies for the lighting - it's chucking it down over here.
