Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 W.Nr. 211934 was assigned to Stab II./ JG 6 and was surrendered to American forces at Fürth, Germany. It was photographed extensively there and so is one of the better documented Doras.
This model was built from the old 1976 issue Hasegawa kit. The kit has been superseded by subsequent molds but I had it on hand and decided to update it as best I could just for the fun of it. Decals are from an Aeromaster sheet and performed flawlessly.









For the fun of it… That’s what it’s all about Jeff.

Agreed, Pierre! No “serious” modeler would choose this kit as a starting place today.

I think that Dora turned out fantastic! In your opinion what is the nicest 72nd Dora on the market today? I really want to add one or two to my shelf.

Thanks Leonard! You can get a good Dora from either the new Hasagawa or Tamiya kits. The Tamiya is more detailed. Neither kit has the opening in the wheelwells to the engine accessory section if such things bother you. I built them all side-by-side, you can see the construction here: https://inchhighguy.wordpress.com/?s=Focke-Wulf+Fw+190D-9+Comparison+Build
