Should be ready well before ya'll begin to decorate the christmas tree.
Below are some work in progress/preview images, unedited except cropping straight out of FSX.

Let's begin with two of the incuded Dora's, the D-9 and D-11

The D-9:
Based on the Fw190A-8, produced as a stopgap aircraft until the Ta152 is ready for production.
With a total production of about 1805 examples it was by far the most produced Dora.

Some shots comparing the D-9 to it's predecessors A-1 and A-9

The D-9 alongside the forefather of them all, the A-1.

The same photo, highlighting the major changes over the Anton series.
- Extended cowling to take the water-cooled inverted V Jumo 213
- 50 centimeter fuseluge drum, the socalled "Rumpftonne" added
- 12 centimeter extension to the vertical fin

And here's some showing the D-9 with the last of the Anton's, the A-9.

Some D-11 shots.

Changes over the D-9:

- New engine Jumo213F
- larger, oval shaped supercharger air intake
- upper nose guns removed, thus more streamlined cowling.
- Mk108 cannons added to the outer wings.

This one is shown with the old canopy.

Same aircraft with late style canopy.

Together with the D-9

Capture of the larger air intake.

Note undersurfaces partially unpainted bare metal as seen on a number of late war aircraft.

These two are currently my favs of the whole bunch.
A JG 2 Fw190D-9.....

.....and Fw190D-13 "Yellow 10", one of two surviving Dora's worldwide and one of supposedly only two D-13 that reached operational units, currently on display at the Flying Heritage Collection.
