Focke Wulf TA 183 PM 1:72

[kruaxi]

Hi my friends.
A little divertissement this time, a 'classic Luft 46' plane... the famous Focke Wulf Ta 183. It never flew, but had a lot of sons... as the unlucky Argentinian Pulqui, probably the Mig 15 and the Saab J-29 Tunnan.
The kit is the very basic PM. I scratchbuilt internal, wheels bay and other things. Added two high explosive Merkwürdigliebe bombs...

What an ugly kite. But the model looks very nice. Good work.

Agree with all.

I don't know what kind of an interceptor it would have been -- but I have always loved the look of that plane. The Airplane Bubble Gum cards (think baseball or hockey) that we had in the early-mid '50s (during and immediately after Korea) depicted that 'kite' as a Soviet Mig 17 - and I remember thinking that it looked more sinster than the Mig-15. Naturally, it was an artist's concept on the BG card . Good times then .... to be a boy .

Great build, kruaxi.
