Brewer Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) So my Ta152 whiffer is done. The C-11 variant was proposed but never built, so no matter what markings I chose they would have been speculative - I decided to have some fun with it. Scheme is based on the Bf109G-6AS birds of JG 1. I also made a lot of corrections and alterations along the way.

Antoine Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Sorry, can't find my words... It's even difficult in French!
doozer1974 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 That's a lovely looking build, and a heck of a lot work by the sounds of it!
batcode Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 looks stunning , that finish is superb... enjoyed following this build,... nice work
Spikelhund Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Very nice Jason, really enjoyed watching this one come together. Cheers...
Live_bait Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 What a beauty Jason, you did a fantastic model, I love the what if scheme.
jbpruitt Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Really nice photography. Brilliant build but, I'm especially impressed by the pictures.
Brewer Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks guys! As for the photography, thanks for the compliments jbpruitt. My setup is about as simple as it gets, about $40 US invested:
Ian Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Thinking about a 'Luft 46' build for later this year and found this beauty whilst 'Googling' around (other on-line search engines are available !). Not sure how I missed it first time around, but it's bl**dy superb (IMHO). Inspiration methinks.... Ian.
Brewer Posted October 28, 2017 Author Posted October 28, 2017 Thanks Ian! Glad you posted, good to see this build again. Wish I still had it
