FW-190 D9 1/5 by fokkerc.com

My Feedback: (23)
<---- i do!
right now it is only a concept as i am finishing other stuff, but i plan to have the prototype machined early 2015. What you see is a 3D printed mockup for the 1/4 TA152, it would take very little to convert them to conventional FW190 gear with proper downlocks.
They will be more expensive than the sierra's though, as all of the gear door mounting boss' are machined into the strut itself.

Yes Dave
Thomas , when you are ready with all you can send me some measurements for the 1/4 1/5 gear ( if you want ) and I can change the plans . I can make one set of plans for Sierra and one set for your landing gear

Hi Fokke,
Looks great !! I'm collecting parts right now for my SiSt D9 and will be putting yours on the list for right after that !!
When I get there I'd like to do the V18 and will need some help getting the right bits.
Keep posting your great work!

Hi Fokke,
That's the one !! I considered converting the SiSt to the V18 but decided to not mess with a great kit and to do the V18 as my next big build.
No rush... lol. I have this winter dedicated to the SiSt.

Are not so many , I finished with the Spitfire so far. I work on FW190 A8 but now I projekt something new for the covering of sceleton , in usual wood models the covering is from balsa plates , I want to make something different, so I will make material who will be better then balsa , I will cut it on laser the all surface cover plates with design as the original airplane , so I belive that my new inovarion in the wood models will be great for more modellers Soon I will show what I mean
Ranstein, I can"t stay on one plase , I nead to make , to projekt something any time The most inportatnt is to have some progress with the models

Yes correct, when we have one or more complete models will be better. I don't see something special or difficult in the wings , the fuse is much more difficult for building and covering.
For me is important what final weight is the Spity , how she fly even if it is individual skills of each builder-pilot. In forums I watch really great models , but of half of them the weight is pretty much, I think that one model in 1/5 scale fighter must be around 8-8.5kg for a good flight.
