This is the Tamiya Fw190D-9 "Dora", in
1/48. It was built OOB. It's an excellent kit to put together.
The only hard part was making the decision of what color scheme it should
wear. Not too many schemes during the late part of the war.
This a/c marking belongs to JG4, and I believe the chevron was for the
Commander of the unit. I don't know much about the color and markings
for the Luftwaffe,...so I painted it as I like it. And I don't want to
hear from the so-called "experts", please.

The paints were Floquil enamels, and PollyScale
acrylics. A note here on the Polly Scale paint. It only reacts
well to distilled water as a thinner. Any other thinner will thicken the
paint and clog up the airbrush, big time. Other than that, the project was
trouble free.
