Title: Ta152B
Post by: stevegallacci on June 19, 2015, 01:22:02 PM

A massive rework of the PCM 1/32 Ta152H kit (the kit fuselage was patterned after the OLD Revell Fw190D kit) into a Ta152B very heavy fighter (6X20mm cannon+30mm motor cannon). The shorter wings were much modified old Hasegawa Fw190A parts. Historically, there may have been a small batch of these actually built, think Ta152C with Jumo 213 instead of BD 603, but nothing besides iffy paperwork remains to document them.

Beautiful model of a most dangerous looking aircraft.

Beautiful build of a very potent design.  Every detail looks just right, especially the paintwork.  Thanks for sharing.  I have a lingering OLD Revell 190D that may see the light of day here  ;)

Ditto here, it looks gorgeous, any chance of more photos?

And yes, you HAVE to put it up on Hyperscale, no text just a "last build finished" tagline and see what happens  >:D (been hunting SJWs today so I am very  >:D)

I'll get some more snaps up here, but I've found the process of going from photobucket to hyperscale so difficult/unreliable (the last time I tried I simply could not get the thing to work) that I don't bother even trying any more. Same for LSP.

That's gotta be one of the finest Ta-152s to come down the pike in a while!

Love the paintwork! Most excellent, Steve!

I want to do the Fw190V-18, as a '190A-0, as a '190C prototype, and then as a Ta152H prototype.
