When I was young I remember ridding 8hrs on way in a car to the Reno National Air Races. I was small then and the long nosed racing airplanes looked even bigger and cooler. When I was older I saw pictures of a D-11 and it took me back to those days of looking at those planes when I was a boy. The long nose, smooth with no bulks bumps where MG were in the D-9. The huge air intake for the larger supercharger gives it that awesome air racing look. This was a rare version of the Dora, the middle step between the FW-190D-9 and the TA-152. More horse power, no cowling guns, added 30mm cannons on the outboard wings, 20mm's in the roots and one 30mm in the nose!! though most were not fully installed in the nose but opening and compartment were ready. A huge uptick in fire power, able to destroy bombers but more importantly protect the me-262s against the rugged p-47's and with this firepower package could destroy one in a single pass where the D-9 had trouble doing so in the first pass and usually weren't given a second.
As far as a model goes I poured my heart into this one as it is a childhood favorite.
beyond the obvious custom mods no expense was spared, detail stenciling, exhaust, cowl flaps, gun soot, dry brushing, honestly it goes on and on..
Yes I even put seat belts in it...
I may sell it but my price wont be cheap and it wont go down. I love this plane!! Hope you guys do to, Big shout out to Jackson for helping with the custom decals! Thanks Brother!
