Title: New Dora Skins
Post by: Bullethead on July 17, 2005, 11:05:45 AM

Well, I see that JB73 and I now BOTH have our Schwarz 12 Doras in the game :D.  Damn, I was looking forward to a free drink.  Oh well, I guess we'll each buy.

I also note my 2 A8s made it in, but my other 2 Doras, which I sent in on 8 June, are still MIA, without even an acknowledgement of receipt.  Since I sent the A8s in much more recently, I figure these 2 Doras got lost in the shuffle, so I just sent them in again.

Anyway, congrats JB73.  It's very interesting to compare our work.  I did mine based a lot on these sites, FWIW:

Has a pic of real plane plus painting guide for aftermarket decal set (http://www.users.bigpond.com/markltuc/fw190d-9.htm)

Same modeler, different kit, slightly different interpretation (http://www.features02.kitparade.com/fw190d9black12mt_1.htm)

I used some from both of these sites, plus some of my own interpretation.  For instance, I disagreed with where the light blue panel should stop on the lower right wing, because it appears to be a replacement part, hence the missing part of the cross.  If they'd replaced it all the way to where the painting guide shows, the whole cross would have been missing.
