[ThunderThud]

here is another one of mine .Its a FolkeWulf 190-D9 "Dora". It also is from the older Trimaster kits from Late 80's.Polly "s" acrylics were used just like the 190A8. Hope you like.More of my collection will follow!

Very nice work TT... It seems like u like using acrylics moreso than enamels.... Any specific reason why???

 

[ThunderThud]

Well I aslo use the Model Master enamal paints from Testors!It just was at that time I had a system that worked with the Polly S brand of Paints.They are no longer available here were I live so I adapted to the Model Masters which also work great and the FS colors are I feel right Spot on as were Polly S.I also use a pashe and badger airbrush.

wonderful rendition T.B. ! have you purchased a copy of volume 1 Dora book yet from Eagle editions ? quite a few JG 6 birds within none with the questionable red/white/red fuelage band, though pic evidence from 2 opther sources have told me that the A-8's of the unit did carry them

That is a fine looking model. I am amazed at the detail they can put into
a scale plastic model, but can't put that kind of detain in a balsa/tissue
model. They can't even make a round fuselage !

Sorry Erich It has been so long since i Built the Models i dont recall the refrence matereial i used, also those are the kits decals so i relied on the Manufacturer to get it right!8)

Cheese the only Basla and tissue models that i think are worth building is the WWI warbirds! all metal Planes Just dont cut it at Balsa and tissue.

Very nice!

Tell me about it. I have an FW-190A4 95% complete and a bf109D1 about
80% complete. I'm trying to "model" both of them after WW-II LW aces,
and I just can't get close to the details. I have two threads started, "My
FW-190" and "My BF-109". Take a peek and you'll see what I'm up against.

[Screaming Eagle]

very nice!

Nice work ThunderThud, I did this one along time ago and went with the bands too, looked good, but it's highly likely that no D-9 actually carried them, only some A-8/A-9's.. but the stripes still look cool!

 

[Njaco]

Nice job! I'm gonna have to get me a D to work on.

TT

 

[ThunderThud]

Why is every one mentioning the DOR bands, didnt they wear them on the D9's or even the TH-152"s ?

 

[Wayne Little]

TT the RV bands.... no photo currently available, and there are now quite a few, show any JG 6 Dora 9 carrying the prescribed Red/White/Red bands.JG54 also did not have their Blue bands added. JG 2 , JG 26 and JG301 all primary users of the D-9 had the RV bands on most if not all their Doras. The Ta152's of JG301 DID carry the Yellow/Red RV bands.

 

[ThunderThud]

Thanks for clearing that up for me Wayne. I wonder then were the Manufacturer gets there marking documentation from.Just goes to show you can trust whats on the box?

She's a beaut, I feel like jumping in and taking her for a spin...

Last year I bought a Testors P-38 for my boy, and uhhh, we did not do so well... It sat around half-done in my fishing tackle shop for several months before I sadly discarded it. Don't understand why doing things like reel repair is so natural for me but when I try to put a model together I struggle. I respect those who can put one together so nicely.
