Focke Wulf Fw190D-9 'Blue 12'


Recommended Posts

Greetings all

 

Here's my attempt at the widely-documented Fw190D-9, 'Blue 12', surrendered at Furth in May 1945.  The Hobby Boss kit is generally excellent and a lot of fun to build, but I still managed to mess it up in places ;)  Paints are from Vallejo and Mig.  Markings are Montex masks, with the kit decals being used for the 'E9', the octane triangles and W.Nr.  There is also a 'guest appearance' from the Tamiya ground starter cart, which I threw together a few days ago (that's also a great little item).  Managed to get some pics this morning before the thunder storms (which are now in full swing as I type).  Anyway, hope you like :)

Thanks both :) 

 

The impending thunderstorms (still going on now) probably influenced the lighting a bit!  There are period colour pics of this aircraft at Furth, but the colours are still a combination of 'best guess' and 'general consensus'.  As with most wartime colour pics, they actually create more questions than they answer.. ;)
