Hallo,
well I started a Sabre Mk6 of the German Luftwaffe with the Martin Baker ejection seat conversion. Now I am still looking for an early Martin Baker resin part or some pics of it at least.
So I decided to ad just another prototype on the way to the TA 152 while waiting.
The FW 190 V32-U1 was often mistaken as the forerunner of the TA 153. This is nonsens because the TA 153 plans were cancelled months before the FW 190 V32-U1 appeared. The v32 started with a DB 603A augmented by an exhaust driven turbochar.ger and was a lookalike to the V-18 and V-30. Disapointing performance of this combination saw the supercharger gone and replaced by a DB 603G with an enhanced mechanical charger. The tail section was lengthed and new larger fin (even larger than the Ta one) was added. A wide span wing replaced the regular A-wing. This will be the bird I want to built. The V32 followed the V18 as it was again modified getting the TA 152 H1 wing and a Jumo 213 E engine to become just another TA-152 prototype.
I plan to use up all that was left from my earlier FW-TA projects - "patchwork".
William Green has two pics in his "Focke Wulrf 190". It always rains in nothern Germany
Here I found some dubious drawings:
Focke-Wulf Ta 153 B-1 and Ta 153 D-1
I marauded my sparebox and started:
You can recognice two decade old leftovers and the outer wings of the PC-TA.
