Hi Guys, Last year I posted Focke Factory in this forum where I built four of Hasagawa's Fw-190D9 models at the same time. Now I've looked around to see there are SIX more D kits hanging around, with a few bits that have disappeared. So I thought "why not?" and here we are with Focke Factory II. When I built the original engine inserts I actual made seven, all painted ready to go, so that's only three more to build and paint. And I bought another Jerry Rutman D-13 conversion, this one will get chopped back to a D11. It's essentially the same as the D13 but omits the nose cannon and adds two MK108 cannons just outboard of the undercarriage legs. One D9 will have a broad chord Big Tail, the one that was going to fit late D series and all of the Ta-152 series. There were only two documented Big Tail D9s so this time I'm going for the one that hasn't got much documentary evidence, having already built the well known one! The engine inserts ready to paint. Note three completed ones at the top, left over from the original builds. The first mini bulkhead in place. Only another 11 to cut and fit. Kit seat on the right, all thick and nasty! Thinned down one on the left. The seat itself is sheet metal, not armoured. Armour was fitted to the bulkheads. Mass production of tailplanes. Turn on the TV and just do it! Building tails. Two of the Big Tails on the left will eventually work their way onto a coupe of PCM Ta-152C kits. It's a start! Regards, Bruce Crosby

Was searching, and trail seems goes cold in 2019. https://www.dailysabah.com/op-ed/2019/03/06/unearthing-wwii-aircraft-buried-in-kayseri Cheers, Dave

I decided to build Dora in very unusual scheme Kit landing gear was replaced by Eduard Bronze legs for Revells F-8, i added Yahu IP into cockpit, resin Quiciboost Exhausts will be added too.

Nobody builds Focke-Wulfs around here anymore or what ? Oh wait, Ernie does! And Paul knows he wants to. Lades and Gentleman, Aloud me please to introduce you a new mini-group-build based talent and foolish dedication to the subject by Ernie, Paul and Me. Ta-152H-1 kit is venerable plastic from ZoukeiMura. walk-around for H-0
