Ta152C 1/48 hobby Boss

[Guest]

The Wulf builds continue with the V7 prototype werk nummer 110 007 Ta 152C-O/R11 . Powered with a DB603 E . I finished it in RLM 81/83/76 which may or may not be correct my research has failed to find anything very solid on colors but this seems to be the most accepted combo.If anyone has anything more solid please share! The Hobby Boss kit went together nicely with no filler needed. I used model master enamels and top coated it with Testors Dullcote.


























Pictured next to the H1 the difference in the wing and power plant really jumps out














cheers Trey

Superb work Trey. The differences are very apparent with the two versions lined up like that. Like the colours, authentic or not they look good.

Flawlessly built Trey! it looks superb , the paint finish is awesome . They look like great kits these Hobby boss 152's , and they can be picked up for peanuts too , trouble is i really like the H version and they dont do that one!! great build matey , cheers tony

Lovely job on that one. I've always liked the look of the 'C' version, shame they never really got it into production (unless you were on the other side of course!).


I think you're safe with the colours, as you've already discovered, nobody can say for sure.


The thing did 420 mph + with the DB 603 E, and would have been faster with the intended version of the same engine (DB 603 LA)


Cheers

Excellent job. I built the R-14 last year and have to say that it was the kit that salvaged any possibility of me ever building aircraft again.


Up to this point my, experience with aircraft has not been good at all. Poor fit has always been my biggest complaint. Filling or sanding bad seams and re-scribing panels lines does not appeal to me at all. But, the Hobby Boss Ta-152 I built was amazing. Not one fit issue, and very little sanding along the leading edge of the wings was all the cleanup needed.


Your paint job looks awesome, by the way.

Really nice, Trey - another superb paint job.

Awesome work Trey

superb work like the camo work and it is a weird looking wingy thing

[Guest]

Another brilliant result Trey! Lovely paintwork & the worn effect on the underside is cool.

Cracking work Trey

Superb, Trey. Another eyecatcher from your workbench!!


How it runs actually with the construction of the "big" Ta 152 ??

Thanks for all the kind words Gang much appreciated! Tony yes they are a decent price and the fit and finish is up there with Has/ Tamiya ,I too wish the did a H version!


Steve yes indeed we are lucky they did'nt get that thing into production! I like the 'Mustang' looking V18 as well with the belly intake for the multi stage turbo set up.


Brett I was impressed with the fit as well,got any pictures of your build? Would love to see them if you do.


Stefan the 1/5 scale is moving very slow ,the tail feathers are finished and the top half of the fuse so far, just got the tail retract unit so will be able to close up the skins after that gets installed ,thanks for asking.
