Dora D-9

last pic update.
next will be the upload of the model.
I've rebuilt about 80% of the vc and ditched most alphas in favor of real modeled pieces.
the pit is only 1.5mb but it uses around 40mb of textures...
runs fine on my rig though!
 
Jon, that looks really first-class! It'll be a real step forward to have a 190 with a cockpit to that level. Looking forward to it!

(Then all I have to do is get him back on that Hawk...)
 
Excellent work Dancat! Definatley one bad-bird! (Now if only you could make a P-40 that
great to look at on the inside!)
:jump:
 
Small tip

View attachment 13077Back in the 80's I was allowed to sit in the Fw 190 D13 at the then Champlin Fighter Museum for about a minute. My only helpful recollections were that the interior of the cockpit had a "lived-in" look and feel to it whereas your cockpit is pristine and perfect like a swiss watch (Well Done!). By lived in I mean the usual small dings and scratchs. That D 13 is now in the Seattle Museum of Flight so perhaps they might take a few pics of the interior for you to reflect on. Or we can buy some Used Plane Fragance and be done with it. Doug Champlin deserves our applause for spending a fortune to preserve the D 13 to perfection. Well done Dancat and Doug! Thats me in the photoshopped D 13 smiling for the cameras with added fake bullet holes en route to imminent glory.
 
Even if many D type 190s were conversions (I think) their service life was pretty brief... Your D-13 will have been tested to death post-capture, so you may find it has more hours on the airframe than any other 190D!
 
I don't think there where any conversions from A to D types other than prototypes.
I don't think either that the D-13 received a lot of stick time post capture.
Piston engined aircraft where of low interest by that time and mainteneance and spare parts issue would dictate a premature end of tests anyway. The capture ware didn't really get more than 10 - 20 hours stick time.
