This is the Ta-152 H-0 green 4 # 150020, that's in the Smithsonian storage facility and the subject of my model. The colors are dark green, gray violet upper and 76 lt. blue gray undersides.

Gray violet first.

Opps!! Sprayed gray green by mistake.

Repainted with dark green and cleaned up the fuselage mott. Looks a lot better now. Gary S.

Panel lines done with pencil and highlighted with white oils. Gray oils to be used on lighter colors. Gary S.

Good mottle work on the sides.

That 152 that's in the Smithonian.....is that the original paint job?

Partially. The front looks original, but the Brits painted over the rear part. Thanks, Gary S.

Nice work on the mottle

The post shading of the panels is complete along with painting the spiral on the spinner. The decals are next after a coat of Future. Gary S.

Nailing those panel accents.

The tail wheel strut is molded backwards. It looks like the aircraft is going in reverse. The tail wheel on the Fw-190D is how it should look.

So I cut, pinned and reglued it back together with just a little swivle.

The decals are on. Had some trouble with the red and yellow banding decal when I wasn't patient enough when trying to move it from decal paper. Had to cobble together 30+ year od decals instead from old left overs. Gary S.

Nice cobbling.

Did a nice job with your mottling and the whole scheme

It's done at last. Not an easy build. And it's stable mates. Gary S.
