Focke-Wulf Ta 152H-0 - 1:72 Aoshima

[Mig88]

Hello everyone!

 

Here is Aoshima's 1:72 Focke-Wulf Ta 152H-0 which I built back in 2013. It represents “Green 3” of Stab/JG301, Luftwaffe, at Stendal/Neustadt-Glewe, Germany, April 1945. This machine was flown by Obfw. Josef Keil on 10 April 1945, when he shot down a P-47 over Kassel. It was also flown by Obfw. Walter Loos on 20 April, 1945.

 

The kit was built mostly OOB. I only replaced the nose piece with a more accurate resin part from Quickboost and added belts from an Eduard etched set of WWII Luftwaffe belts. Most of the decals were from an Eagle Strike sheet with the rest from the kit. Some of the insignia of the former were oversized. The kit was fully painted by brush with only the final matt/satin varnish being airbrushed.

 

Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome

Really really nice. You've made a stunning job of that, your paint work/masking & mottling are superb. 👍

Great job Miguel!

That's a really nice paint job, it goes to show what a good job can be done with a brush. How did you do the mottling on the tail and the blended demarcation along the fuselage?

The Aoshima kit is very good, I made one a while back but not as nicely finished as yours!

My technique is like dry-brushing but with more paint than when dry-brushing!

That looks great, very difficult to pull off mottling with a brush but this is excellent! Lovely job on this pedigree fighter.
