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.

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.
