discussion Fw 190 D-9 "Red 1" of the "Sachsenbergschwarm", HobbyBoss 1/48

[Guest]

Hi mates!!!
It's "Dora-Time" again. D-9 and Ta 152 are my favourite german WWII-fighters. Especially the Doras of the famous "Sachsenbergschwarm" or "Parrot Squadron" of JV44 I like a lot.
After the complete Parrot Squad in 1/32 scale, here comes the same unit in 1/48.
By the way......my big Doras will come to a museum in Ainring......on the site of the former Airbase of JV44.
Now.....this is "1 of 5" (sounds like "Borg"). It's the "Red 1", flown by Lt. Heinz Sachsenberg, leader of the Parrot Squad. His personal slogan (left side of the fuselage) was "Verkaaft's mei G'wand, I foahre in Himmel". It's written in bavarian tongue and means: "Sell my clothes, I go to heaven".
The kit comes from HobbyBoss. Colors from Gunze (RLM 23), Humbrol (RLM 82+83), Vallejo (RLM 76) and Revell (RLM 70+02).

Cheers....
Stefan

Looking at this it's easy to see why your other builds are going to a museum. High class work indeed.

Great job Stefan. You are getting rather good at modelling this 'schwarm'
You can never have enough interesting Doras and this one is a very nice addition.
