The Focke Wulf 190 D is one of my favourite aircraft of
all time with it's pure and aggressive lines. Amongst all
the types and versions, the D 13 must surely represent
the ultimate ‘Butcher Bird’. More so, for a modeller like
me who loves to paint with the airbrush, the most
emblematic D 13, Yellow 10, is the ultimate painting
challenge.
The only long-nosed Fw 190 D-13 to have survived the
war is now part of the Flying Heritage Collection in the
U.S. It entered service in March of 1945 and served
with the JG 26 with Major Franz Götz. In May, 1945,
after the end of the war, Major Götz flew this D-13 to
the RAF base in Flensburg, Germany, and surrendered.
The ‘Dora’ has been restored close to flyable condition
but remains on the ground due to it’s rarity.
To replicate this aircraft I've chosen the Hobbyboss kit.
Far from a ‘snap-fit-kit’, it's a well designed and
complete model. It sits in between the Eduard and
Tamiya kits for ease of build and level of detail.
However, be careful if you want to do a D 11, the
dedicated box from Hobbyboss doesn't allow you to
build a D 11, but to keep me happy is a perfect match
for a D 13.
