Focke-Wulf 190D-9 Kit or plans?
« on: May 01, 2015, 07:03:31 AM »
I looked around but couldn't find a full fuselage kit or plans for this model.

The Focke-Wulf 190D-9

Anything available?

No, I don't want to design and scratch build one unless I really have to.

Thanks in advance.

pica kitset focke-wulf fw 190-d9

You will be surprised what you will find.

The Pica kit was originally done by Dave Platt.  The kit is a fair representation of the D-9.

There have been some really good construction articles for the D-9 as well as the Fw Ta 152H in the old RCM Magazine

Keith,

I was thinking of you when I placed this Post. I knew you would have something for me!

See what I come up with.

Thanks so much.

The airplane you are looking for is David McCellan's FW-190D-9 published with plans in the Model Airplane News May 1980 issue.  It'is full fuselage , semi-scale. lovely and competitive.  I may have an extra copy of the magazine, if not, at lest Xerox of the article and plans.

Dave may still be around, possibly in Waco, TX.

Wynn,

A few? My gosh! That's amazing! Here's the direction I'm heading. Unless you have a better idea?

Keith Trostle's Ta-152 might fill the bill, too.

Didn't know anything about this Keith Trostle design till just this minute. It's not the same aircraft but it sure is nice! Kudos on the trophies Keith, there's stories there worth talking about.

My mind is all made up.

Many modelers have already been helpful with the McClellan design sending PDF files of plans, which BTW, I've already sent out to other interested modelers.

I read the article, and I get a good feeling about David G, McCellan, his efforts and his design.

A build for the future.

I'm still young, so who knows, I may even give Keith's contest winner a try!!  H^^

OK, let me explain some things here.  That David McClellan model was designed under the influence of Al Rabe.  It is a full fledged stunt ship in the manner of all of Al's Super Semi-Scale Stunt ships (S5's).    It is a serious stunt design capable of performing a good competitive stunt pattern.  And it really looks like the Fw 190D.

Now, the rest of the story.

That article of my Fw Ta 152  was published in the Dec 68 issue of Model Airplane News.  It could at best be called a caricature scale.   I called it the Ta 152 just so that it would not get confused with the more familiar short nosed Fw 190's.  When it was designed (1965), I had not yet met or seen anything like what Al Rabe was later to introduce to the semi-scale stunt world.  Anyway, my first Ta 152 took 5th place at the 66 Nats.  The Nats trophy is in that photo which was taken in early 68.  (That was virtually my stunt trophy collection at that time.)  The next version, virtually identical to the first and what was shown in that MAN article plans, was 5th place at the 68 Nats and went on to take 1st and the Walker Cup at the 70 Nats.  The model is still hanging in my shop, rather worse for wear.  After all, it is nearly 50 years old.  Eric Rule, RSM, has a kit of this model.

The photo below is the model built from Eric's kit as it appeared when it took 1st place in the unofficial Classic event at the 2008 Nats.

Thanks to Stephen Pollock for showing that MAN article.

Keith
