Fw190 A-8 red 13...

This is another DML/Trimaster 1/48 kit.What a pleasure to do it!!
You can hate or love Dragon kits of early 90's...I love it despite all of its imperfections.
But, the final result always is spectacular (well, with a little patience).
This specific kit is a good rendition to one of the most successful fighter pilot of all times: Heinz Bär. He flew more that 1.000 combat missions and has more than 220 kills, 16 of them mounting Me-262 jet fighter. He was shot down in 18 occasions!!...but was killed in an aerial accident in 1957.

The detail level of the kit is crispy and reasonably accurate (very, indeed)...the final result is outstanding and an absolute eye-catcher.

Some decals was replaced by hand made templates and painted directly on the plane. This was one of the most exiting projects ever made in my life (I have more that 50 years as a modeler) and it was my first Fw190 in 1/48 scale.
  

 

Focke Wulf Fw 190 D-9 Langnase...another DML kit

Fw 190 D-9 is the epitome of the Fw development and, perhaps, the best fighter of the war (British and Americans frown...they think in their later Spits and P-51) but arrived late and sparingly to the front...however, the success of this machine was secured in the hands of the "experten".
This model was profusely used by the second top ace of the war, Major Gerhard Barkhorn in the final stages of the war.
The kit is the marvelous DML 1/48th scale in the Trimaster package...really an extraordinary rendition to D-9.
Some imperfections in the accuracy?...who cares!, the final result is impressive and catch the Langnase spirit ans style pretty well.
