That is right. Flugwerk has built the fuselage and Moto Bende is currantly doing the engine work for the D-9.
The following statment can be found on their Homepage(www.motobende.de):
FOCKE - WULF Fw 190 D ? a timetravel.
The elevating imagination, to see this historical warplane
return back to the air ? after more than half a century ?
is also motivation and target for the Team MOTO BENDE.
Now the worldwide saved 3 originals of this german warbird
shell get another flightable brother in germany.
On the base of a completely new build cell, this flightable
replica is going to be build up with original machinery under
the help of MOTO BENDE.
For that we are restorating and reconstucting in order
the complete machinery section from the bulkhead
up to the propeller hub.
Surely this project will take a few years to the complete
conclusion. Particular stations can be persecuted during the
month on this website. We will report from time to time.
