Dave J Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Ok so I am going roll with this... I am going to stick to out of the box, bar some Harness and paint masks I think... Fw 190 D-9 “Brown 4″ W.Nr. 500647 of 7 Staffel, II./JG26 as it appeared at Hustedt, near Celle, April 1945 If anyone has the EagleCal decal sheet #126, I would be interested in a photo/scan of the Comments area from the instructions. 6
rieser Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 "Good tucker Hans!" Will be a great scheme to paint.
BevanBrooks Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Nice. Got a good formular for the green blue 76 if your interested. 1
Iceman Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Good choice Dave, that particular D-9 has had a lot of interpretation over the years regarding the overall paint scheme. I think I may have that Eagle decal sheet, I know for a fact that I have a masking set for it too. I will check on the decal sheet and send you a PM if I have it. Would be happy to send you a scan. Also, some rare photos of 500647 in the Fw-190 Dora series by Jerry Crandall, do not know if you have seen them or not. Kirk
Dave J Posted October 6, 2015 Author Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks for the offer Kirk, but it looks like I am sorted. Ralph has been in touch and forwarding me some details from the book, and Mike has the Decal Sheet which he has emailed me too. 1

Dave J Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Cheers Bevan! I will have a play with that and see what I come up with. I have been a bit naughty and started my build, as I am away for 4 weeks at the beginning of November... I will post up some pics tomorrow of what I have done so far 1
nmayhew Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 always like those big tailed Doras - look very cool
Dave J Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 So I been building and painting the power plant assembly on my little head start... Its totally out of the box and I would love to add more, but keening to keep this moving along it I fly out for the UK in 15 days Next is the Cockpit parts.... 1
Dave J Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Been working on the cockpit... Its pretty much out of the box, bar some RB Production Harnesses and spare set of Eduard Rudder Pedals. I used the Kits decals for the IP's. I just cut them out separately from from the one piece decal. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Fuse halfs has now been glued into place. I found a spare Eagle parts 5 piece gun cowl and Radiator Cowl that I had hidden away. I have used the Gun Cowl so far, but I have found the Radiator Cowl to be undersized, so I will most like roll with the Kit part. I am planning next to glue up the wings and tail sections. Then I am looking at riveting it.. But I need to find a set of dividers... But it seems that none of the local stationary stores have any! So by the time get these glued, and find a set.... I will be heading out for my 4 week holiday, and this will be waiting for my return! 4
