'Langnasen Dora' Fw 190D-9's

[fubar57]

Yea, but still, I was expecting half of that price

 

[Lucky13]

True! It's a bit pricey indeed!

Since it seems to be impossible to find Kagero's Topcolors #13 Operation Bodenplatte....gonna toss HGW an email, see if there's any plans to print this in 1/32....

Yeah, looked through another half dozen books, and can find nothing new; thus the list stands:

Of the 'others' that I've no photo's of, I would draw your attention to 210241, the next a/c to the JV44 "Red 13" - likely it would sport a VERY similiar camoflage. For me tho, my 'to do' list includes all 5 JV44 Dora's - thus 210240 "Red 13" will be done and 210982 "White 13" from 1./JG26, because it just looks 'right'. Those are the only "13's" I have any intent of doing.

The next Dora however, will probably be either 601088 "Black <1+~" (in its PROPER camo, not the modern day museum camo) in the form on Tamiya D-9 + Verlinden and etc or more likely an Eduard D-11 220017 "White <<-".

Anybody home?

 

[Lucky13]

Well, see what the reply (I hope) will be from HGW....

 

[fubar57]

A printer could also be an option though the "50" might be sketchy

 

[Zaggy]

Lucky13 - yes?

And Merry Christmas back at you Mate, after the last 18-24 months of Work, Health, and the CHAOS of COVID, I have effectively become a collector! hahaha

That said, im now off for about 8 weeks, so once I finish fixing the front patio, I have a Garage I'm being 'allowed' to turn into a new Modelling space
