Ok, so as promised, here is the D9. Again pretty much straight from the box. HGW belts and stencils. I did rivet this bad boy. So that was an experience. It adds a lot to the otherwise plain, flat panels though (except panel lines). I wasn't sure how to paint this bird... There just aren't a lot of photos from this stage in the war and many were destroyed or relegated to the scrap heap before any pictures were taken. I wanted to do something a little different and I know JG26 was switching over in the fall of '44, so I just made a probably-was aircraft. The work number is made up but there probably existed a Blue 4 in the 2nd Gruppe. I'm pretty sure I used AK Real Colors RLM76 (Version 2) RLM75 and RLM80. Markings are painted. Light weathering using some oils and pigments. Unlike the A8 I fixed the instrument cowling as it should be. Not sure why Hasegawa made a gap where the gun sight sits, but it was easy enough to correct.
Hmm, I thought I had more pics of this plane than I do, so unfortunately a lot seem the same to me. When I take some more I'll upload a few.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for looking.
