Gazzas Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi Everybody, This is my Raffle Prize, PCM's Ta-152C. As it never reached factory production, I decided I would make it into a racing plane instead of doing the only historical paint scheme. I had a lot of fun trying to make it pretty and learned quite a bit about painting as I went. It also gave me a chance to try MRP's line of lacquer paints. There are a lot of photos, so I'll keep the words sparse. If you're interested in the building steps, the build log is Here! More to come....

Gazzas Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thank you, guys! Really appreciate the kind thoughts!. 10 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: Super nice man! Need a shot or two of the bottom though Brian, Though I considered it, the landing gear indicators on the dorsal side of the wings add a new dimension in nuisance to handling the model or getting it safely on the Jig. I tried to use photography to show what little underside details there are. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi Gaz, That racing scheme is so well thought out (and so nicely modeled too) that it looks entirely plausible! Makes me wish it was real! Did you think of a name for it like the other racers? Alain Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would love to have seen a real aircraft like this. I never really gave any thought to naming it. I had originally considered painting “The New Red Flyer” in German under the wings, but I decided I wanted something more playful or of a challenge than something that might hearken back to the military past.

ringleheim Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 That is an interesting and very colorful paint scheme for sure. Really nicely done, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
