My captured Ta152-H1 is done and dusted. I’m quite happy with how it turned out, what do you think?
While updates have been scarce progress has nevertheless been made. I have almost finished the undercarriage, all that remains is its assembly and then attachment.
All markings painted…. The Wulf now has its Lion’s markings.
Current project, a Ta152H-1 in captured markings. Using the 1/48 Dragon kit. I made the masks and so far have painted the luftwaffe markings, then painted over them :). Next will be the roundels.
The final adaptation for an FAA Avenger is the scratch-built creation of the Observer’s station behind the pilot.
I also had to convert the lower fuselage windows to the FAA spec of round bulged windows instead of flat rectangular shape the US used.
