TimJ Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 With a couple of weeks left of this GB I should have time to get this long stalled build finished. DSCF2007 by timothy jones, on Flickr DSCF2009 by timothy jones, on Flickr I started it at Christmas 1995 but didn't get any further than sticking the wings together and some painting so it should qualify under the 25% rule. DSCF2008 by timothy jones, on Flickr It'll be a wheels up out of the box build so shouldn't take long. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 While this will be the second Ta 152 in the GB and indeed the second one built by someone called Tim it's a great subject choice and a rare one at that. Good luck with it in the short timescale 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Not much progress but the fuselage and wings have been joined together and tailplanes added. DSCF2014 by timothy jones, on Flickr It'll need a smear of filler on the wing roots and there are a couple of sink marks on the upper wings but nothing to worry about. With the week extension I should have it finished in time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks Col. The filling and sanding has been done and the airframe has been given a couple of coats of RLM76 with a coat of Humbrol 27 on the wings and tailplanes. DSCF2098 by timothy jones, on Flickr DSCF2099 by timothy jones, on Flickr Camouflage is up next. The instructions say RLM74 and 75 (I think) so it'll be out with the old tins of Xtracolor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 The camouflage has been painted as per the instructions so it's ready for decals. They're very matt so I hope they go on OK. DSCF2108 by timothy jones, on Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 I finished it yesterday evening. There was some silvering on the decals and some of the smaller items didn't want to stick to the model but I managed to solve the problems by running some Klear under them which did the trick.
