Are we allowed to build a Ta 152 version of the Fw 190?

Regards

Peter

 

[stona]

I can't answer for Graham but the technical answer should be yes. The Ta152 was a direct development of the Fw190 in the same way that a Bf109G is a development of a Bf109F and had they not changed the prefix to give old Kurt Tank a pat on the back I imagine it may well have been an Fw190E or some such nonsense. It was a rare beast,without looking up numbers I think less than 50 entered service of about 200 built.

However the prefix is Ta not Fw and 152 ain't 190.......over to you Graham.

Cheers

Steve (definitely planning an Fw190 between A and D)

 

[Fenlander]

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.

 

[Fenlander]

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