The Fw-190D was a re-engined and reengineered development of the widely-used Fw-190A. Prototype testing began in March 1942.The first production variant was designated D-9. Construction started in Summer 1944. The multirole D-9 carried bombs in some versions and radar in others and was even faster than the D-1. Nicknamed Dora-9\", service began in October 1944 with III\/JG-54 (the 3d Squadron of Fighter Group 54), then I and II\/JG-26 (by January 1945), and JG-2 and JG-301 (in early 1945). Allied and Luftwaffe pilots immediately dubbed it the \"long-nose\" Fw-190. On their first operational mission with the new Fw-190D-9, II\/JG-26 shot down four British \"Lancaster\" bombers and one \"Mosquito\" fighter for the loss of one \"Dora-9\". Several Fw-190D-9 equipped groups, including JG-2 and JG-26, participated in airfield attacks by nearly 1,000 aircraft during the ill-advised \"Operation Base Plate\" opening the Battle of the Bulge on January 1, 1945. By the time JG-6 received 150 D-9s in April 1945, the bombing campaign had so restricted fuel supplies that only four aircraft could fly at a time. Development continued with the D-10 through-15 versions, all of which were to be multi-role interceptor\/ground-attack fighters with a wide variety of engines-the Daimler-Benz DB-603A and EB, the Junker Jumo 213EB and F with and without water methanol injection. Further development followed as the Ta-152. Between 650 and 700 Fw-190Ds were completed when production ceased in 1945.:\u003cbr\u003eItem No : 02411\u003cbr\u003eItem Name : Focke-wulf Fw190 D-9\u003cbr\u003eBar Code : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eScale : 1:24\u003cbr\u003eItem Type : Static Aircraft\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief : Length:425 mm Wingspan: 437 mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts : 150pcs\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts : Aileron \u0026amp; Flap hinges\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts : Instrument part\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues : 7pcs\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes : Fw190D-9 Stab IV.\/JG3 Mar.1945 Prenzlau\/Germany\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date :\u003cbr\u003eMore Features : Engine full detail w\/optional position cowling, Sprung landing gear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"white-space:nowrap;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\"","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45223503528157,"sku":"TR02411","price":159.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/TR02411.png?v=1758068210","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/trumpeter-1-24-focke-wulf-fw-190d-9","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
