  Hi Steve , 

  Please find enclosed several photos of trimaster FW190D9 , I have build 5 years ago . Excuse me if some mistakes in english , lay in my tex but I am french .

  Photo one : 

  Rear view of Trimaster FW190D9  .  The model is shown on a Verlinden Trophy german airfield Base . 
  The scale model has been painted using a Passche VJR90 airbrush and  X-Tracolor paints  . Decal are from Experten decal Sheet 1 .

  The WkNr of the aircraft is not correct as it was ,  initially analysed as 400240 .instead of  213240 . 
  The gun cowl panel should be a 5 pieces one intead onf the "standart" one .

  Photo two : 

  Left side view . The spinner should have been yellow and RLM 70 .  The horizontal stabilizers have been cut and repositionned .

  Photo three : 

  It looks like real , with a shot taken like that , isn't it ? Undersides have been previoulsly painted in RLM76 and then , using frisket masks  , in white and red . 

  The propeller is metter that the airframe, as it should be , as the propeller is made of wood . So matt varnish has been applied on it , a mixture of 2/3 matt varnish and 1/3 gloss varnish has been applied on the airframe .  Few humbrol matt light brown has been applied undersides and on the landing gear doors , to simulate the dust .

They have been pushed on the right side of the canopy ,  as german pilots used to climb in the cockpit of FW190D9 on left side of the fuselage .  The small wire visible between the landing gear leg and the wings , il the wire that retract the tail wheel , via several pulley .Dust ands exhaust stains have been aplied after completion of the scale model .
