A sheet with covering pieces for the glazing of the long-nosed Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 fighter in 1:48 scale. The pieces sit on the canopy frames from outside and inside and come from the parts of the Hobby Boss kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The D-9 version came about by converting the proven Focke-Wulf Fw 190 to the liquid-cooled inverted V12 Jumo 213. The new powerplant called for a lengthened nose and an inserted plug ahead of the tail surfaces, so a stocky aircraft became a slim machine that the crews nicknamed the long-nosed Dora. Above 6000 meters it finally matched the performance of Allied fighters and from the autumn of 1944 it appeared with the leading units. Machines with conspicuous red and white bands on the underside of the fuselage earned a reputation of their own; they covered the takeoffs of jet aircraft and in slang were called the parrot squadron.
The canopy of the Dora has a low profile and the frames are narrow, so even a small overflow of paint shows on a finished model. The cut pieces are laid on the glass, follow the edge of the frame exactly and are removed once the sprayed paint has dried.
When the cockpit is built in the open position, it is practical to mask both parts separately and to keep them apart until the last moment, because the evenness of the shade on both is then easier to check. On this version the armor plate behind the pilot's head touches the frame, so it is good to mask that too before the outer spraying comes in turn.
