Greetings Friends! I recently finished this model and was disappointed in my build, but just decided to post anyway... I was having health issues and so this one dragged out and I just decided to finish it up quick. I had tremendous decal struggles and there is quite a bit of silvering that no amount of solvent could eliminate fully. Then like a dummy, I glopped extra glue on the underside when attaching flaps! All in all a job that I really wrecked! Oh well... This Hobby Boss kit built well but is very inaccurate and so I got a Fusion Resin correction kit for the nose and the prop. Now it looks like a Ta152C, with the cockpit slid back from where it is in a Dora, gives it a unique appearance as does the Mercedes Engine with the supercharger scoop on the port side. I had to cut the tip of nose off but the Fusion resin parts fitted great and look great Highly recommend! More of my problems is the Fusion exhaust pipes fell inside the model in a tiny hole! So had to use the bad kit exhausts. A build I rather forget! I painted with Mr. Color RLM75/83 on Top over RLM76 and natural Metal underside, using the excellent Super Silver and Super Iron Mr. Color metallizer paints. This is real as the Germans were running low on RLM76 and photos of these Ta152C's show partial underside in NMF. I was sick and still painted it but didn't do well with the green. I just rushed to get it done. Decals are Eagle Strike Ta152C and Aeromaster Wing Walks. I had a devil of a time with the decals, they kept popping off the surface despite nice Tamiya gloss coat and solvaset... The last pic shows the unique wood grain flaps. The Eagle strike sheet gives you these decals, and they look different... Here it is...
