Hello everyone,
Greetings from cold and fresh Worcester, and my current progress on the FW 190-D9 after a week off from it travelling the breadth of the UK doing a thing called work. After looking at some of the pics of the Dora during my research I painted the leather trim around the IP, though dont know if it will be seen like the rest of the office when it is closed up.
I have also closed up the slight gap and mistep between the wing root and fuselage with a bit of white putty. I also attended to the rather prominent gap between the underside wing fitment to the fuselage, again putty smoothed down.
Finally, I sprayed Alclad tyre black on the wheels, previously doing the hubs with Alclad gunmetal. I think ill lightly weather these later with both the treads as well.All of the extra parts are done, landing gear, cockpit canopy, aerial and tail wheel and Ill grap a pick post weathering.
Will give the Dora a scrub down today ready for priming, and for the first time, as Ive never done this before add the spiral decal to the prop spinner. Will post again soon.
Thanks for looking in and I really appreciate the encouragement.
