One of the things one can say about the Luftwaffe during WW2 is the sheer amount of projects, prototypes and machines that did achieve frontline service. The Focke Wulf Ta 154 is not one of them. Originally designed by Kurt Tank at Focke Wulf as a plane to counter the legendary RAF Mosquito, its first flight was on July 1st 1943. The plane was also to be built using wood, with a especial glue, Tegofilm, used to hold all the wooden parts together. However, as luck would have it, the RAF bombed the factory that manufactured the Tegofilm in Wuppertal, putting the factory out of comission. A replacement glue was used, but it disolved the wood, and that caused accidents. After the accidents, Tank ordered to halt the project, being accused by Göring of sabotage. Lots of to and fro was done and, in the end, the project was cancelled. I bought this kit yesterday with the Spitfire from Revell/Hasegawa in 48th. One of the things I did before walking away from the hobby shop was to check if the wings were warped (as Tom Cleaver had mentioned in his Modelling Madness review). Luckily, they weren't so I walked away happy. There're a total of six sprues, five in grey plastic and a clear one. There's no flash present. Decals, though being from 1999 (22 years old) looked OK. Not like Revell's current decals printed by Cartograf, but OK. I tested a small one and was happy to see it didn't break and it moved from the backing paper in no time. The single option is for Ta 154A-0 TQ+XE. Anyways, enough talking! Here are the photos. Boxart: Instructions and decals: Sprues (bagged to avoid losing parts): -
Hello guys, I present you the finished Ta 154A-2 day fighter and single seater. The only modifications I did to the base kit were to eliminate the radarist's seat and to paint the rear part of the clear parts. Other than that, it was the box kit. The aircraft was painted to represent a single seater day fighter of JG300 during the Battle of Germany in 1946. By that time, the Bf 109G had been retired, together with the Bf 110 in both nightfighter and heavy fighter roles. Here are the photos.

Hello guys, I finished my Ta 154 in 1:48 from Revell yesterday. Decals, which were issued in 1999, worked pretty well.

Hello to all, this is one of my few aircraft models. The TA 154 nightfighter (the less succesfull german mosquito) This kit from Revell/Dragon has the flaw "hanging wings". I realised this too late, so I had to fix the wings slightly elevated to the frame to compensate the angle between the engines! But I think it does not look bad! Hope you like it! Cheers Andreas

Good day, guys. Following the legendary British "Mossy" I found logical to make the German "attempt" to repeat the success of English. The set from Hasegawa is gorgeous, but some details from QB and the cab from CMK is also quite relevant. I did not do anything more, except some navigation lights from Elf and guns and pitot tube from tubules.
