LOL I don't know about that!

Thanks. I like those very late war schemes since they were "different" from all the earlier schemes.

Finished. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19530-fw-190d-9-done/

Essentially OOB except for a Aires cockpit. Painted with Testor's MM, Colourcoats, Alclad and Mr. Color. Decals from Eaglecals with reference to Crandall's Vol. 1 on the FW-190D's, page 191. Nice looking very late war '190 I think. I hope you like it.

Thanks Kevin. I hope to finish it up tomorrow,

Camo done for the most part. Some touch up then decaling barring screwups.

I agree it's going fast. Faster than I expected actually! This kit does have a few things in common with the A-8 so I doubt it would present any problems.

So far so good. Thanks.

Painting under way! Undersides done so now it's on to the top of the wings and fuselage.

Thanks Peter. It's always a pleasure when everything fits!

Fuselage assembly about done. Wings are next.

Aires cockpit about done along with the prop and spinner.

Yes it sure does Kevin. Sure didn't make me happy!

Thank you Bill. That's one big airplane!

Thanks Scott. I may try that whenever I decide to try the build again.

I had started this build a little while ago but put it back in the box for something else. Now it's time to bring it out and get with the program. I really like the looks of the broad tail D-9's along with the attractive late war color schemes. Black 6 fills that bill just right! LOL

Thank you Chris.

Fingers crossed your SH-60 will be okay. I plan now to start a Revell/Hasegawa FW-190D-9 with the large tail.

At least the first 3 T-28's I built didn't have any warp problems. That's one reason I was so unpleasantly surprised with this one.

I don't know what to say Gaz except this came as a surprise to me. I've built 3 of them and didn't have this problem with them. I may get back to it later on but for now it stays on the SOD.

Thanks Mike! I'm glad I could finally puts it's worries to rest.

Thanks Gaz!

I decided to do some test fitting and here's what I found. The fuselage pieces are warped. Now I have to tell you, that REALLY pisses me off! 😠 The last thing I want to have to do is contend with this kind of crap. I expect it can be reasonably straightened out but I just don't want to have to fiddle with it. So, it's on to the "pre-SOD" shelf for this SOB. I will likely come back to it later on when I'm ready to embark on what appears to be a high cuss-factor operation. Now I'll go find something else to do.

They'd look good together Scott.

I'm glad you like it Phil. Thanks!
