John Thompson Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thank you, @Stilwell/Jonathan! I knew I should have checked there first. That's good news - considering the apparent high quality of this kit, I was actually afraid my estimate of £25 was too low. Maybe I will be able to afford two or three versions after all!

You're welcome - Cheaper still if pre-ordered from Hannants to get the 10% discount. (Assuming that is Detonation Boulevard, UK...)

They do look a bit heavier than Eduard/Wingsy/Arma rivets, but I think we need to see it in the flesh or a side by side comparison to see if they are a bit big compared to the others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course. Could be same effect with pictures taking with macro lense. Model looks good in nature, but at macro pictures you see all that "mistakes". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Quote The Fw 190D model family from IBG Models in 1/72 scale will include various versions of the aircraft, from the D-9 to the D-15, taking into account the differences resulting from the dispersion of production and the intense involvement of subcontractors. For better orientation in the subject, we have prepared a pdf document in which the differences between the individual machines are presented.

Ok, a little help: harsh light and macro does not help in judging these rivets. Personally I think they came out very well in this scale. The diameter is the same as on a real plane (most commonly used rivet head was 6mm in diameter, in scale it gives 0,08mm - remember that Focke-wulf was riveted with wide rivets...). The scale forces simplifications so the number of rivets in a line is reduced - it is obvious that it is impossible to reproduce it perfectly in this scale. I estimate that every second rivet in the stitch was omitted. Whether it is adequate, everyone can judge for himself. Panel lines are thinner than in competitive models of the same aircraft (I compared Tamiya, Hasegawa and RV/AZ/KP). For scale evaluation I added a match and a pin, the match is 44mm (1.73in) long. The plastic is great quality but I get the impression that it is slightly glassy and this gives the illusion of blurred edges. This is not the case. The edges are sharp and very nice - which you can see only after spraying the surfacer or paint. In the picture below you can see the difference between two parts from the same batch - only the surfacer shows the real details. I hope it helped*. *I take no responsibility for compulsively buying excess quantities of this model and overloading your magazines. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three rows of rivets and one row without. Space between rivets are always the same. Also within same row and to next row.

lasermonkey Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 PSA: Jadlam are selling the D-9 for £15.99 posted on eBay right now. Just a few left at that price. I just bought one. It’s about as much as I would pay for a single-engined WW2 fighter, but I really like the Dora and didn’t think I was ever likely to get one of these kits otherwise. Cheers, Mark.

ChristianK Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Not prototypes in a strict sense, but "Yellow 10" of JG 26 is a D-13, "Red 4" of JV 44 is a D-11. So these two rare variants are covered here. Cheers, Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
