pabbi Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi all, I'm joining the GB with this 1/48 Tamiya Fw 190D-9, Oblt. Hans Dortemann's yellow tail. He recorded 18 victories with this Dora (Wr.N.210003), the most successful fighter pilot with this type. Flown september 1944 until end of war when he destroyed his Dora. I am also thinking of a small diorama if the building of the Dora goes well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Nice one Pabbi. I have got that decal sheet for a 1/32 version that I still want to build. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Always nice to get some colour on. The preshading looks good to me. Will be watching for the next installment. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 that's looking really nice, do like the colour scheme, am a bit fan of the Dora's! Shouldn't be too hard to fix that gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Undercarriage and small parts now on and painted. Decals were easy to handle, settle easily, did not use any klear the Model Master paint is "smooth" enough. Aligning the undercarriage was difficult, hope i have it 75% right now Edited February 16, 2013 by pabbi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Nice work - that's a very attractive scheme isn't it? I've got the JV44 boxing of this kit and was going to enter it but chose to do something else instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the JV44 boxing of this kit and was going to enter it but chose to do something else instead thanks Andy, yes I like this scheme... you need a special character to fly, late war, in a bright yellow tail Luftwafe airplane thank Deacon almost finished.... only weathering and matt varnish...
