Mathieu's work is continuing.  Getting tantalizingly close now...

- FW-190D11/13 set -

Pretty heuppy with the output.

Whether be it print solution or assembly.

Little tweaks needed at the junction of upper cowl and wing root, for the rest it’s pretty good.

Particularly of interest, photo 5, how the LH bulge look bold and proud with the shadows and the RH one looks absent in plain light.

thanks for the update pictures, a couple of questions. 

1. is there a plan to close up the gap where the cowling is meeting the upper cockpit area, that is a pretty huge gap, respectively.  It obviously needs to show a seam there, and if you fill it, then a seam line would need to be re-scribed.  I know from pictures that this area on the real plane varied by manufacturers, as some show a very tight fit and others show larger seams, about of openings.  Crandall's book on the D13 shows some of this. 

 

2.  The left side with the bulge looks great, however a lot of scratches appear to show up in the picture and not sure how deep they are and again if they would need filling. 

 

Is this going to be available  online? 

 

Thanks

Paul

If you are looking for all the reference material available on the D-11 and D-13 you should look at Jerry Crandall's book The Focke Wulf 190 Dora Vol. 2 which features the D-9, D-11 and D-13. In this book we published all of his photos of "Yellow 10" plus many others of the D-9s and D-11s. Details are also discussed in the text that includes notes from our interview with Art Williams, the original restorer of that D-13, at his facility near Augsburg, Germany. He discussed with us the many details recorded during his restoration. We also had access to the discussion between Kurt Tank and Doug Champlin during the original restoration in 1973.

I’m just curious, why is the gap so large between the upper cowl and the windscreen?

Cheers

Be all over a few of these the Spitfire sets from Matt where fantastic.

Hoping he turns his eye to a Tamiya Mosquito bomber/NF conversion..mm Tse,Tse..

So many Mossie options left unturned in 32nd.

Ill have to grab a few more D9’s glad they are cheap in Japan..

If it's not the first test print it'll be an early one, work in progress, looks great so far.

Don't worry about any perceived fit / quality issues.   This guy is amazing; rest assured the finished product will be perfect.   To mention what Darren Howie posted, I too would love to see him take a crack at other Mosquito variants (using the Tamiya kit), including bomber, two-stage engine cowlings and NF versions.  As I side note - I had a brief online chat with Matthieu a while back.   Asked if he'd ever considered a conversion of the Tamiya F4U-1D into a -4/5.   He said yes, it's just further down on his to-do list.   Hope this is the case.  

 

On a side note - are there any decals out there for these versions?
