Ever since the new Hasegawa 1/32 FW-190 D-9 came out, there have been expectations of new decal sheets to dress up a very nice kit. Eagle Editions has delivered with a beautiful series of decals. Common to all sheets is the beautiful instructions. Each folds out to a full color, two-sided sheet which gives precise painting instructions for each machine as well as some of the history. Each set of instructions also includes a guide for application of the stencils and a full color, three-view paint scheme for each aircraft. Notes on the painting guide include details such as uneven or unparallel Reich defense bands and very exacting color call outs for all parts. Where available, actual pictures of the aircraft were used. On sheet #59, there is a very good (and helpful) explanation of the differences of D-9 vs. D-11 vs. D-13 variants. I am sure that EagleParts resin conversion parts will become available for the D-11 and D-13 variants. The research put into these sheets is superb. Each decal sheet is actually a set of 2 sheets each 5.5” x 8” and are complete down to the markings on the landing gear and propeller. They are perfectly in register and have a glossy appearance. Having used Eagle Editions decals in the past with excellent success, I would expect these to apply well and snuggle down with minimal effort using the Microscale system. I was lucky enough at the IPMS/USA Nationals in OKC to see several examples of planes using these decals and two things struck me. First, Jerry Crandall (owner of Eagle Editions) is a great model builder. Second, was how realistic the planes look with good decals and research in to the paint schemes and details. I recommend these sets to all the Luftwaffe fans out there. I also had the good luck to see the new resin D-9 cockpit set from Eagle Editions (the seat is a work of art!). These decals and accessories will dress your D-9 to the nines! |
