Achtung DORA!
Yellow!
First of all I want to thank You guys for such a warm welcome and kind words! I'm honoured and very flattered.
So, here's another thing from me. Eduard's 1:48 Fw-190D. The prettier sister of first Focke-Wulf. Well, she's got that something for sure. The kit was weekend edition, I've added HGW seat belts and made cannons from injection needles. Aerial was made out of silicon string for making bracelets - its fibres can be separated to very single cable (?) and its very stretchy. CA glued, marker painted. Tamiya and Gunze made the colours, oil paints and some pigments made weathering. Kit was designed to build it with every possible thing opened, so the fit of closed panels was problematic - file and sanding paper helped. I hope you like the outcome.
Warmest greetings!

Good looking build, sir...well done.

I've added them also to the original article. Nice Dora!
Nice Dora, it looks so wonderful! May I ask that how you painted the aluminium/silver part at the bottom of the wings? Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot! I'm not sure but I think it was Tamiya Chrome silver, lightly modulated with Tamiya Smoke and oil filters.
Thank you! Gonna give it a try π
My favorite WWII plane ?
Nicely built and weathered, great job, man!
Thank you Allon! Since it's your favourite I guess if I screw it up you wouldn't be so kind ;).
Hi Dominik. I also adore a Dora. To me sheβs far prettier than nasty looking butcher birds; elegant and beautiful. Great job - nice finish, realistic weathering, and lovely detail work.

Thank you David!
REALLY well done, Dominik. Your Dora is an elegant beauty. Bravo !
I LIKE the Butcher Birds, David ... but Dora IS prettier.
Thanks Jeff! I prefer slender girls, maybe that's why ;).
Knowing just how problematic this kit is to finish, you've accomplished a great result. Very nice and I like the paint and weathering.
Thanks a lot Tom!
Very nice!
Thank you!
A great model of a beautiful airplane! Nicely done.

The 190 is my favorite WW2 German plane. Yours looks fantastic ! Excellent work and I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your builds.
