Chat thread for this GB: Fw190 & Ta152

[Ian M]

First a big well done for suggesting yet another hit. It seems that the "single type" type og builds are very popular.
Please use this thread to chat about THIS GB.
As per the norm You can open a thread for your build and post post build posts. (that's a lot of posts in a row!).
Box top, sprues etc. Just now building until the start date.
Anyone that wants to join in; feel free to do so. It would be great if all those that took pat in the first ever GB on the forums joined this one.
So far we have:
John (airfix)
tr1ckey66
papa695
Ron (spanner570)
Ian M (thats me)
Dave (Dave)
Polux
Colin M
Doug Hughes

I will leave it to John to post the final details for the build, please let him do that before you all start posting here!

Thanks to Ian for backing this and all the others who have joined up and supported this GB.
I haven't got access to my stash or workshop at the moment, so I am going to ask others to go first.
Could you post what kit, scale and type you are doing please? An image of the kit would be even better.
For myself I am doing the Zoukei Mura 1/48 Tank Ta 152H-0. Mostly OOB with seatbelts and maybe an aftermarket dash and scratching for the engine's piping and hoses. Images coming soon
Cheers, John

Remember to post the GB basic rules for the other members.

I think rules are pretty easy here.
Aftermarket additions are welcomed. Basically any Fw 190 and Ta 152 for the Luftwaffe in WWII made by Kurt Tank. I would include the Ta 154, but let's save that for a Nachtjager build next time.
If any extensive mods are done such as the Fw 190D Kangaroo variant, please state.
We start November 2018 and end April 2019.
Btw, it would be great to see some 1/32 kits. Eg hasegawa and revell.
Captured subjects are welcomed as well as JV 44
Cheers, John

Will be a long year.... lol

[BarryW]

The start is a whole year away!! Do you not mean November 2017 to April 2018?
My plan is to build a Revell 1/32 FW190 A-8 in the new year, February 2018 (after finishing my final Tammy Spit build) which will fit in this time-frame so I will join in... unless it is a year later in which case it may be my ZM 1/32 Ta152 which should be around that time-frame..... or can be made to be. I have a bit of a rota for my stash....

[Guest]

I'm building the same as Polux, should arrive very soon - I've only recently started aircraft, and am enjoying the very real new challenges presented, after many AFVs. Hope I can meet the standards I know that will be displayed here!!

Would welcome another ZM Ta 152 as I am doing one, but in 1/48.
And yes, 2018 November into 2019 April

Hi John
I'm presently sorting through my stash to get a shortlist of kits for this GB.
I have:-
2 x 1/32 Hasegawa FW190D-9
1 x 1/32 Hasegawa FW190A-6
1 x 1/32 Hasegawa FW190A-8
1 x 1/32 ZM Ta152H
AND
1 x 1/24 Trumpeter FW190D-9

All have their fair share of AM and all should be good builds. I'm taking some pics at the weekend for all the GBs I'm involved with and hopefully by then I'll have decided which kit (or kits) I'll be going ahead with for your GB.

Thanks
P

I don't know what I will be building, my stash is non-existent so I will pick something up before the start. Probably one of the Eduard kits, as they appear to have a good reputation for accuracy.

I have a Hasegawa Fw190 F-8 in 1/32.... I think.... Lol
