A rare Tri-Cannon Dora request.
« on: December 09, 2014, 12:10:22 PM »

Hey again all,

Since I uploaded the Fw-190 pack for TFM-412 I unlocked a lot of the Dora's I have always wanted to fly, same as everyone else!  :-X And I came across yet ANOTHER Dora that has never been skinned before!  ;D

This is a Fw-190D-13 that was captured by the Allies in Czechoslovakia during 1945. Her Werk Num was 836016. Another machine from the 83 batch was that of Franz Gotz's fighter, that which he surrendered her to the allies.

Gotz's Dora's Werk Num was 836017 which is the very aircraft AFTER the aircraft in question was produced.   :o

There are partial photographs of this aeroplane documented. But all that is known is when she was found her engine was gutted and dismantled when the airfield was abandoned at the Bory Airfield at Pilsen.  :(

The pilot is unknown yet due to the appearance of a double Chevron on the fuselage, it belonged to a Gruppenkommandor.

The squadron that used the fighter is unknown yet there are speculations that this aircraft was used by one of the EKG/J's in the final weeks of the conflict.  :-[

See all the notes attached and details of this fighter in the image provided.  :)

Again a VERY interesting and forgotten D-13 that I and probably many people feel that she SHOULD be skinned as it is a very rare fighter and not many were produced.  :-\

Best to all, Be lucky and see what you think of her.

I've got a basic version of this aircraft skinned already but also planned to do a version with the Jumo power egg paint scheme photographed on a train car at the end of the war which may have been on this aircraft.

I will get it done some time this week if I find time.

Well Phas3e I guess I owe you something for this! Again like you I love this bird, and now I am able to fly the REAL thing in IL2 instead of a D-9, it's why I am going for the later models and other types now.

By the way Phas3e, your Lancaster is beautiful as I tried her out the other day! that drone of the 4 Merlins is pure pleasure. Thankyou for your amazing skins! You are in my eyes a pure genius!

And PvF, the D-13 is something else man, I am getting more kills in IL2 because of the accuracy and firepower. 3 MG/151's instead of 2 151's with 2 131's.

The Dora series is in my view the best of the German fighters.

Best to you both!
BlackAce.
