I agree Steve. The TA prefix was in recognition of the designer and it was a 'next stage development' rather than a totally new aircraft. Not sure how many kits of it are available but I would say it would be OK to include in the GB Peter.

Ta 152

Thanks Graham. I have seen at least one kit and for personal taste, I prefer the long nosed versions, they look better balanced somehow and the Ta152 certainly gave the Allies a bit of a shock when it turned up!

[Why be difficult, when with a bit of effort, you can be absolutely imposible!!]

Just ordered a Pacific Coast Ta 152 in 1/32nd scale with some photo-etched bits, whatever they are.

Lets hope it's big enough for my hamfisted hands not to make too much of a mess of.

There is a Hasegawa 1/48 and at least one in 1/72 that I have seen.

Congratulations Fenlander I hope the group build is a success and you go on to many more. Always a challenge to manage such things but I'm sure with the positive bunch we have here you'll be set up for plenty more.

Cheers, does that mean you are going to give it a go?

I'm afraid I spend too much time travelling around to be able to get involved. I normally work on a cruise ship in the United States but I'm currently working in a ship yard in Germany so it's all living out of a suitcase and through a laptop nowadays. When I next get some time at home I'm organising a steam Gala day for my model boat club so between that, trying to get myself up to speed with the requirements of pressure testing model steam plant, writing steam related articles for model boat magazine and trying to progress my steam coaster model I seem to be fairly well occupied.

So thanks for the invitation but I wouldn't be able to give it any time at the moment. I already feel guilty about not spending enough time on here nowadays so I need to address that as well!

Good luck with the build though, I will be very interested to see how it goes as maintaining the enthusiasm for a group build can be a challenge. The last one I remember here didn't actually start, although I did buy the kit, but we didn't have a Group Build Moderator to maintain the progress that time. Still I have a very nice 1/32nd Tamiya Spit on the shelf for a rainy day!!
