Thunnus Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I really like how this turned out too! The color scheme is interesting and very complimentary to this airframe... especially like the blue fuselage bands! duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke_ Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 some more progress.; detail on the landing gears number 6 masked and painted.. wooden blade propeller from eagle parts.. (i am not sure about this, but as far as i am aware late war FW A8 had wooden blades instead of hollow metal.? ) and starting the weathering , first with some aluminum chipping effect on the wings . thank you!

Rockie Yarwood Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Looking really nice, Duke. duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 That's looking fantastic, Duke! The paint/finish/weathering are superb! My guess about the prop blades is that the wide paddle blades are the same as the Dora... wood with metal reinforcing the leading edge and tip... nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm not sure that was a metal reinforcement. Also not sure it was on all D-9s duke_ and Rockie Yarwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 FWIW... I did a search on the photo that I posted and it was listed as a prop from a 190A at the National Technical Museum in Prague. I could find no other information on it. And also... the photo Mike posted of the D-9 seems to indicate some sort of "something" along the leading edges of the two visible prop blades, if my eyes are not deceiving me. The brownish color could be rusted metal... just saying. duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
