Njaco here is a scan of the test details for 210251 (werk Nummer)
The data comes from a japanese publication, Modellers Eye Fw190D-9.
This was the only D-9 tested, also aside shot of 210251.

Some things are a bit strange to me.
One thing is what is being said about the rigidity of the Russian fighters, claiming that they were fragile because they were partially build out of wood. That's nonsense.

And what do they mean with the German guns being recharged automatically?

Erich, looking forward to your review. Not sure how soon my copies of EE Vol 1 and Japo Vol 2. will arrive....very soon I hope.

These images would be the one's to which you refer, Erich.

I have a picture in one of my books, lists it as a 'D-9 captured at Marienburg, East Prussia and serving with an IAP of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet Air Force in the spring of 1945' Seems to be standard camouflage

Fla-eee-dah!

Wayne, that second pic is the one I found in the book and started this thread. I'm thinking that maybe the next "D" I model might be Russian. I'm intriqued.

Wayne that is correct and volume 1 of the EE edition on the Dora does not cover captured examples, maybe the sister volume # 2 later but I would think Largers two volumes would cover the Soviet examples......... ?

mid range- 12-13,000 feet in my estimation

It is my understanding that:

low altitude - up to 12,000'
mid altitude - 12,000' to 25,000'
high altitude - over 25,000'

A couple of books were published a while ago on captured Fw-190, and included the Soviet D9. However, the book seems to focus more on photos rather than information. I have not bought it as it is quite expensive (~£30 for a 100 page book).
