Focke-Wulf Ta-152 H - Dragon 1/72

[Flyingbabydoc]

Hello friends

As a side Project before I start two campaigns (must get the WWI ribbon!) a great kit of a Focke-Wulf Ta-152H from Dragon models. I got this cheap on Ebay with PE and masks, a great value. Most importantly, you can Show the open engine. Really cool.

This is going to be "Yellow 1" from 7./ JG.301 in Lückau-Alteno (Brandenburg) in February 1945. Camouflage in RLM 76/82/83.

I hope you like it.

Cheers

Alex

That's a lot of detail even for 1/72. Well done. looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks a lot friends,

Indeed there is a lot of Detail. Not so easy to get everything together in one fit, but I managed. It is a nice plane and indeed as you said Christian very advanced prop for ist time. The bomber engine also helped. Lots of HP in that.

Here is the plane "put together". Still a lot of sanding and "puttying" to do.

I will be painting using RLM 82/83 and 76 underneath. Decals from Modellers Alliance.

Cheers

AWSOME! One of my favorite aircraft. A bit of too little and too late though I am afraid.
Remember when it comes to weathering, these were only on the front lines for a couple of months.

Still so impressed by your skills in such a small scale! Keep it up doc!

Thanks friends

@skinnymike: indeed they were in service for a short period only, but the quality of paint at the end of the war was also very poor. They did have some weathering, actually more than expected, because of that. I'll keep it in mind.
@lupanzer: obrigado meu amigo. O calor aqui está infernal. 40o e muita umidade parece o Brasil. Claro, a diferença é que aqui não tem ar condicionado em lugar algum! Mal posso esperar pelo inverno... abraços

Hello friends

This Weekend I had some me-time and got to finish some Projects. This was one of them.

Definitely not my best, but again I learned invaluable lessons whilst Assembling it.

Cheers
