Bruce_Crosby Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Hi Guys, Another model from last year's Focke Factory. This time it's a captured D9, partially rebuild by the Russians and repainted with Soviet stars. The original German markings were obliterated with possibly grey paint, you can never tell with old stuff like this. My prime reference was Captured Butcher Birds and the decals are from Eagle Cals. Interior is painted with various Gunze, Tamiya and Vallejo paints, the exterior is all MMP. Detail changes include: QuickBoost guns, exhausts and control column, E-Z Line for the aerial, home made pitot tube from brass tubing, Yahu IP, thinned down seat, HGW seatbelts, brake lines from plastic rod and lead wire, Henri Daehne prop, added cooling flap actuator rods. Probably a few more things but can't remember!

Gigant Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Very nice Bruce! I think that Dora looks better dressed in an "Allied" marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce_Crosby Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi Brian, It works out that I always go against the flow! Don't care what the latest model is, what the latest "Style" is. I model for me, always have, always will. Personally, I think the stars don't really look nice on a 190, but that's not the point, seems the Soviets didn't like them with crosses!

1to1scale Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Very nice...Have a thing for 190's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_Crosby Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have a thing for 190's???? You mean you don't??? Let's put it this way: 4 built. Another 6 D9's almost ready to put together, plus a pile of A series too. Then there's the 3 Z-M Ta-192H kits, 2 PCM Ta-152C kits, a couple of Revell 190 A's, Probably double all that for 1/48 scale. Naa! Haven't got a thing for 190's, well, not much! Regards, Bruce Crosby Lud13 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Bruce, Really nice work! I do like how you balance the vibrant colors and markings with an authentic look. Cheers, Tom Bruce_Crosby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Bruce, you get the award for the most prolific builder on the forum, my friend! I bet the Russians had dirty dreams about this plane.... Bruce_Crosby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clunkmeister Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Bruce, what a model! Truly amazing, stunning, and oh so realistic model. Henri's props sure are worth every cent, aren't they? They should be required by law for every Luftwaffe build, period, (Just kidding of course) but for me, they already are. Not many build put me in the moment and time, but yours did. I just had this queasy feeling hoping that the kid died in the crash rather than being captured by Uncle Joe and his Soviets. Awesome, incredible build, Bruce. Something in my soul was stirred with this build. Edited June 30, 2018 by Clunkmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
