Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Hello Everyone... Its been a bit since I last posted an RFI for my Priller build. I present to you his last warplane of the war. It is Fw.190D9 “Black 14”, there is some debate that Josef Priller actually flew this plane. I choose to think he did, its known that Jg.26 flew the type and he was with the unit until January 28th 1945. And a family photo of the completed builds to date. From front right Bf.109E7, Front left Fw.190A3. Rear right Fw.190A5 & left rear the Dora. Questions, comments, and or thoughts ?

Sturmovik Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Splendid work Dennis. The owner of an LHS is asking 104$ for the Hasegawa boxing of Priller's plane and car. I was also thinking on buying the Dragon kit with markings for Priller's Fw 190A-8, but after experiencing their D-9, I may as well buy an A-4M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dragon kits we're based on the old Tri-Master kits. They were state of the art in the late 1980’s when the showed up and were quite expensive compared to other products. Nowadays the Eduard Dora and other Fw’s are really some of the best you can get. If you have aftermarket decals then the Eduard overtrees are a killer deal. They're the same kit minus the instructions, decals, and all the bells and whistles. Decals are available on line and can be downloaded or screenshot photo’d. Ive done this many times. The Tamiya Dora and A8 or F8 in 1/48th are also very good kits Ive built them all. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Lovely build on that Dennis, you've done a cracking job on that scheme, they might have been "the baddies" but their schemes were brilliant. I too am impressed at the HB kit coming up so well & I too didn't notice the lack of Xorsts. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve... one can only do Olive drab over Neutral grey or grey jets so many times before its gets mind numbingly boring. So i do German planes because the camouflage is so diverse it keeps it interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadMax8 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Well done, Dennis. How are you applying the paint, are you brushing or spraying? As I mentioned at the beginning of this project, I think it’s great that you’re building with a theme. The “Family Photo” is awesome!

This kit is next in my queue, I bought it many years ago at a model show. I can tell you it was for a heck of a lot less than $104! I just checked and there’s one on eBay for $44.99, I think the LHS may be barking up the wrong tree... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi Dennis, great Dora. Congrats! The kit looks actually quite nice. The only thing that makes me kind of cringe, is the fabric texture on the ailerons and tail planes... but that should be easy enough to fix if a faint-hearted modeler like myself does not like it! Great work. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
