Nigels modelling bench Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) As can be seen in the attached pic i am wrapping up my ZM Ta 152 project and have a question regarding the ali panels on the under wing and belly surfaces. You can see where I've masked the NMF and will paint around it RLM76. Is this correct or would it have been a soft edge where they spray painted in the field? Thanks for any advice.

John1 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Can't see /open your picture but from what I recall, late war German aircraft were assembled from components made all over the country. Typically, some of the underwing panels would be left in NMF, while others were finished with whatever color was called out / they had laying around the shop. As such, I would wager that it's a hard finish going from one panel to another. Uncarina, Nigels modelling bench and Paul in Napier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 few well known pictures of the Ta-152H underside, I would move the blue on the lower leading edge further down the wing, no sharp line.

That's where my mind was taking me Martin. If they painted them in the field there would be a soft edge. Thank you. I shall remove the tape and add a white tac sausage or two. I have left the flaps bare metal and the ailerons will be blue so I'm sorted. Nige Out2gtcha, Uncarina and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
