The Fw 190A-9 of Siegfried Baer, 5.Staffel, II./JG301, in Detail....

Simply superb Wayne!

I love the way you picked out the wear on the rudder pedals!

Amazing how much the seatbelts and the steady hand can make a model shine!

 

[Wurger]

 

[Catch22]

That looks fantastic!

 

[Wayne Little]

Some more progress.....

 

[Heinz]

Looking great Wayne!

 

[Wurger]

I'm with Heinz.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys...couple more.

Looks good Wayne....

This is my 190 cockpit I did for Dortenmanns crate for a comparison, Pro vs Rookie....

 

[Njaco]

I'd say not much difference except for seatbelts. Not downplaying Wayne but rather the opposite.

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice Dan!

 

[Wurger]

 

[Heinz]

Nice stuff guys!

Dear all,

I'm looking for some A9 info, and since you have an A9 thread going, I thought I would post here...

I read in other places that the A9 could have various attributes, among them the Ta 152 tail. I have in mind an A9 with outboard cannon, blown hood, wide props and the Ta 152 tail. Does anyone know of one with these specifications? At this point I'm looking for markings? What JG would likely have had such a machine if it existed?

Thank you, Matt

 

[ccheese]

Wayne.... you never cease to amaze me with the detail you can come up
with on your models. You have a great talent, my friend, and it shows.
Great job...

Charles

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Charles...

hello Matt, supposedly there are some examples, very rare, will check for you later, in the mean time Erich or Wurger may chip in with some info.

 

[Erich]

no A-9's with a Ta 152 tail but Doras .......yes

 

[Wurger]

I agree with Erich.But I've thought it could be the Matt's typo.He has meant Doras for sure.

 

[MattQ]

Nope, I didn't mean Doras.

"One difference in the airframe between A-9 and A-8 model was a larger "blown" cockpit canopy, adapted from the Fw 190F-8 version.

A few planes also got tail sections with an enlarged tail as provided for Ta 152 fighters."

This is from Modeller's Guide to Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Variants - Radial Engine Versions - Part I

 

[Erich]

the A-8 also had blown canopies as well as the A-9 had flat canopies, this all from photographic evidence. never heard of an A-9 with a Ta tail

 

[Wurger]

Hi again,

Again I've just went through some book about Fw190 A serie and I found in some of them a short note that a few planes both A9 and F9 series also got tail sections with an enlarged tail for Ta 152 fighters. But there is no evidence of this.I haven't seen any pictures of the Fw190 planes that were modified in the way.
