This is sheet one of the (so far) trilogy of 190D-9 sheets by Aeromaster. Suggested kit is the Tamiya version, though many will want to use the Italeri/Dragon version as it is probably a bit more accurate, though less easy to construct.

First up is blue 15 from II./JG 301. It is painted RLM 83/75 over RLM 76 with RLM 75/83 mottling on the aft fuselage and tail. You'll also note that this has the later 'blown' hood.

Also in RLM 75/83/76 is this one from II./JG 26. <black 4 has a bare metal 'plug' just in front of the tail section that has heavy mottling. This is an early 190D with the flatter canopy.

Finally, from II./JG 26 comes black 10. This one is in RLM 81/83/76 with 81/83 mottling on the rear fuselage and tail. It carries the black/white Reich Defense band on the tail and some mottling on the gear doors, perhaps in RLM 83. It has the later 'blown' hood.

There are insignia for all three and data markings for one.
