Uncarina Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) This is my rendition of Green 4, the TA-152H-0 now residing in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy restoration facility in Virginia, USA. The wonderful Zoukei Mura kit, which is a big improvement over the original issue H-1. I just added rivets, masks, and a custom blend of Tamiya paints for RLM 76, 81, 82, and 83. Hope you like it, and Happy New Year! Cheers, Tom Edited December 14, 2022 by Uncarina Kais, HL-10, red baron and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Really nice finish...looks great. May I ask what ZM have done in the way of improvements? Matt Matt, thank you! These reviews capture the changes: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1709 http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/4199-132-focke-wulf-ta-152h-0/ I really like that instead of a reboxing, many of the details have been improved, and the kit is molded in grey instead of multiple colors. The fit overall is exceptional; I only had a slight challenge with the wing panels. I do love the ZM kits; you can tell they are made by modelers for modelers. I just got the DO 335; it is a fantastic kit, but I wish only the lights and canopy were transparent. Cheers, Tom Bill_S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Emil, Thank you, I appreciate it! I cut out the EagleCals decals and used the outline as a stencil to apply RLM 02 markings. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Great job, that finish is so realistic, as has already been said the painted out markings look real, the photography is also very good. Cheers Dennis Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thank you all very much for the wonderful comments! Dennis, you are too kind; I didn't have a dark background, so had to use white, which can affect the colors and clarity. I used a Sony RX-10 bridge camera and Lightroom software, but my macro photos definitely need improving! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
