Bruce_Crosby Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hi Guys, This model was started a few years ago but resurrected and completed recently. A typical short run kit, plastic shell with resin and etch details, not many alignment aids but that's all covered in the build on Works in Progress. Paints by MMP mostly applied with Mr Custom PS-770 0.18 airbrush, home made masks, Barracuda resin wheels, QuickBoost resin Revi16B gun sight and resin wing guns. Albion Alloys micro brass tubing Pitot and cowling gun barrels. Eduard colour etched seat belts, E-Z Line radio aerial wire, lots of little mods, fiddles, scratch built bits and lots of bodges! the very last photo shows the undercarriage down lock indicator post on the wing. Hope you like it. Now for the ground crew view of the aircraft. And that's a wrap!

KiwiZac Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 That's just beautiful, to my eye the perfect level of weathering for a 152. Bravo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Love this. There is something about that long fuselage and short wing that I have always found eye catching. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen_R90S Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looks great! Is it me, or does that fuselage look even longer than an Fw190D-series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jeroen, The fuselage is longer but I’m not sure of the exact dimensions, probably about 550mm. The wing has been moved forwards so it’s in the same relative position to the engine, so the extra length is between the engine firewall and the windscreen. The cockpit is still in the same place relative to the tail. I think the extra length is needed to get the MG151 guns to fit on the cowling as they are quite long. Certainly makes a sleeker looking aircraft than the D series. Regards, Bruce Crosby Edited January 22, 2022 by Bruce_Crosby Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some more checking on the 190D/152C length difference and came up with the Fw190D-9 length at 10.18 metres, the Ta152C-1 at 10.75 metres. That’s an increase of 570mm, so my guess of 550mm wasn’t far off. Regards, Bruce Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some DuckDuckGo-ing and found this aircraft had a DB603 engine -never realized that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
