Roman Schilhart Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Dear fellow Britmodellers, my last finished build in 2018 is the 1/72 Hasegawa Fw-190D with the larger Ta-152 tail. The replacement tail is a resin item from Airwaves (SC72-117). Metal gun barrels from Master. Decals come from Eagle Cals (EC#58), representing a machine of III./JG 2, in 1945. Photo etch parts from Eduard. All photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. The model was painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics. Thank you very much for your interest, best greetings from Vienna!

RidgeRunner Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Nice one, Roman. One question - not being a Fw expert - why the different tail? Martin

Martin Thank you for your interest Martin. A few "Doras" with larger Ta-152 tails were built in 1945 by the Mimetall factory at Erfurt (MME) in the 50xxxx serial range. Otherwise they were identical to standard Fw 190D-9’s. Some sources suggest that the larger Ta-152 tail was intended to become the standard fitting for all future Fw 190 production. However the war ended before this modification became widespread, and only a few examples seem to have been completed (I have photographic evidence of two machines only).
RidgeRunner Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Ah ha! That's my lesson of the day :). Thanks Roman! Martin
Zarichta Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Beautiful Dora Roman. Congratulations. You're always show us excellent models. Cheers, Cristian
