Hasegawa 1:32 Focke Wulf Fw 190 D9 Jagdverband 44-Red 1


Recommended Posts

It seems I'm stuck with props. I liked it much better this time, though.  Masking and painting the underside was a bit exhausting but it came out better than I expected...

Famous (or notorious?) Dora here, in 32nd scale from Hasegawa. The kit needs no introduction but the aircraft does I think. The entire squadron JV44 have their aircraft painted red with white stripes underside, and it is really amazing to have spared the time and effort for that in 1944-45. This is Red 1 flown by Leutnant Heinz "Heino" Sachsenberg in 1945. "Verkauft's mei Gwand, I fahr in Himmel" reads on the fuselage, which is a part of lyrics wrtitten to a Johann Strauss melody. All-black Luftwaffe crosses underside are also of note...

 

Thanks for looking. I will return to my jets now   :pilot:

- Well done, it could be interesting to see it in real natural light photos to really appreciate the extent of the work done ...

Thanks. Probably could have been interesting and even better under natural light as you suggested, but the model's already gone as it was a long-promised gift.

Hey there!  I know this is quite an old thread, but I am an Fw190 fanatic modeler!  In fact, I think I have 6 as yet unbuilt Fw190s of various variants, plus 3 already completed.  When I just saw this paint scheme a day or so ago, I knew I HAD to get an appropriate kit and the appropriate decals which would support this spectacular red with pinstripe underside!  I am also a fanatic Eduard modeler, and I found, with some difficulty, a 1/48 Eduard Fw190 D-9 kit (8184), and Peddinghaus decals for one of the JV44 Squadron which had this incredible underside.  When I get the kit and the decals, I"m sure I'll want to start this build immediately!  I've built the 1/48 Fw 190 D-9 late kit (8189) and recall having all kind of issues with it, almost all of my own making, paint masking, etc, but did have some issue with the inboard gun wing top covers, so I need up posing those covers open, a first for me.  The build is over on ArcAir http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/314970-eduard-fw190-d-9-late/&tab=comments#comment-3036938. and I was suprised at the number of kind words that build actually got, given my almost having trashed that kit half a dozen times throughout it's progress.   I hope I'll be able to pose this upcoming D-9 with all panels closed!
