Fw 190 D-9 V18 skin

[EMP_SteeleTalon]

Hello all,

 

I have created a historical skin for the D-9 based on the Fw 190 V18 experimental airframe. There's plenty of info out there on this prototype, but the short of it: implementing a turbocharger underneath the aircraft to increase high-altitude performance. This particular model used steel tubes to route the exhaust gasses over the wing roots to the turbocharger.

I used some artistic license to adapt the skin to the Dora frame. I have two versions of the skin: a normal Dora skin and a "skinhack" version, where I made the air intake on the starboard side transparent, since the V18 had no such intake.

 

The skins are up on Haluter's Skin Downloader. Enjoy!
