    Fw 190 D-9 "Red 13" of the "Sachsenbergschwarm", Tamiya 1/48

    Hi guys!!
    Here comes the next member of my "Parrot Squadron" in 1/48 scale. It's Tamiya's Fw 190 D-9. Nothing to say about the kit.......it's top Tamiya-Quality!!!
    My "Dora" shows the "Red 13", flown by Lt. Klaus Faber. His personally Slogan (left side of the fuselage) was: "Rein muss er und wenn wir beide weinen" (In he goes even though both of us will cry). The "Red 13" is the most photographed Dora of the "Sachsenbergschwarm" but nevertheless, even experts are not sure which camouflage the aircraft had exactly.
    In his publications, Jerry Crandall comments that several variants were possible. RLM 76, 82, 83 or RLM 76, 75, 83. Or even aircraft fuselage in RLM 76, 82, 83 and wings in RLM 75, 83!!!! I chose the variant RLM 76, 75, 83.
    Colors from Gunze (RLM 23, 75, 83), Revell (RLM 04) and Vallejo (RLM 76, 70).

    Horrido.......
    Stefan

    Another beauty!

    Nice choice of colour, it looks very convincing. I suppose it depends to some extent which werknummer you go for

    Cheers

            Brilliant job Stefan. Isn't it nice when 'nobody knows', you can't be wrong in your choice of finish.

              Thanks, Colin.....and yes, you're right. It is so comfortable when there is no one who has the "authority of interpretation". Modeller's heaven......especially in Germany, the home of the "Rivet Counters"!!
              When will you build again another "Monster" in 1:32 scale??? Maybe HK's B-17.....in an airfield diorama??
