My latest build is
the new FW 190D-9 from Eduard in 1/48th scale. I modeled "Yellow 11"
from the second gruppe JG2, a Dora Nine that was found by U.S. troops at
Stockheim, Germany in the Spring of 1945. It's interesting hybrid camouflage
appealed to me for years. I built this model with several additions
and corrections.

The center section of the
lower wing of a Revell Pro-Modeler FW190D-11 was grafted and blended to
the Eduard lower wing. The kit seat was re-shaped to better
resemble the FW seat. Canopy rail guides were added to the cockpit
fuselage lip. A log book for the map holder was made from sheet styrene.
The canopy is from a Tamiya FW 190F-8 and has the rubber seal added to the
rear sliding, section.
The plane was
painted with "Mr. Color" acrylics thinned 65% lacquer thinner to 35%
paint, using both a Badger 100 and 150 airbrush. Alclad II Aluminum was used for
the lower wing natural metal sections. Eagle Edition's decals were used for
the markings after a coat of Future. A final coat of Testor's Dullcoat was over
sprayed for a flat finish.
