GB-47 1/48 Focke Wulf TA-152 H-1 - WW2 D-Day and After – Western Front

[dneid]

Username: dneid
First name: Dale
Category: Intermediate
Scale: 1/48
Manufacturer: Zoukei-Mura
Model Type: Ta-152 H-1
Aftermarket Add-ons: Zoukei Mura gun barrels, scratch building as needed (if even needed). I know the choices are very limited, but I do want to avoid green 9 if at all possible.

Ok, Wayne got me very interested in a ZM kit. Plus, who can wrong with any type of long nosed 190ish aircraft. So, here we go for this group build.

Great choice. I did White 7 a while back for something different.

Good choice Dale. Not a fan of the big nose but will definitely follow along

I have always loved those long nose birds and have more than a couple of 190-Ds started. I have always found the 152 to be a damned interesting idea, but she came along too late in the war. One of these days I need to tamp my scratch building lust on a D and just get one done.

I decided to order some decals to give me a few more options. See below.

"Green 4" gets my vote

 

[Donivanp]

Yeah, I like orange.

 

[dneid]

I am thinking either green 4, the way over used one, or green nine. I think 9's paint job is a little "grungier". But, I like the washed out W + CJ markings underneath the green 4.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yeah, I like orange.

If you do, then you like fiction.

Went through three Ta-152 books and no orange

Found this website about the Ta-152. Ignore the fluff and scroll to the bottom for some info about the orange 152
