For the second new 190D sheet, this one has a mixture of D-9s and a D-13. Not really sure just where one will find a conversion set for the D-13, but one can probably do a bit of scratch-building. All three of these planes have the later 'blown' hood. For kits, take your pick as Academy, Hasegawa and Tamiya all do nice long-nose 190s.

First up is Yellow 10, the D-13 from I./JG 26. It is in a mixture of colors. The base ones are RLM 75/82/76. Side mottling is in RLM 81 though some RLM 75 is in there as well. The gear doors are in bare metal, a not uncommon feature of late war planes. This one also carries a green spinner with white spiral.

Next is the D-9 of Gerhard Barkhorn with JG 6. His is in RLM 81/82/76 with mottling in the upper surface colors. It also has the red and while RDV band.

Finally, the tech officer's plane from JG 6 in RLM 75/83/76. There is some additional mottling in RLM 81 and a bit of red primre on a few spots to add interest.
