I’m one of those ‘prefers plastic to PE’ types but will stretch my skills to make this kit work. I was a young USAF 2nd Lt in the summer of 1968 when the AF Museum had their D-9 parked in front of the O-club at Wright-Pat one weekend. I tracked it down to the hanger where it was parked a couple of days later (not yet on museum display) and obtained permission to not only get many close up photos but to also get in the cockpit. I was a relatively thin, 6’3” at the time and it was a tight fit. I’ve had a soft spot for the Fw 190D series ever since.

I'm puzzling over the caption with Red 2.  My limited German translates it as 'The next man the same lady': a subtlety I can't follow....

While I'm here, what is/are the difference(s) between D-9 and -11?

According to Wikipedia, the D-11 had the more powerful Junkers Jumo 213F engine. The 11 also saw the elimination of the cowling guns in favour of two MK108 30mm cannons and two 20mm machineguns on the wings.

Ta152 family.....???  Really...??...

 

Original the question was asked on FB -

It was maybe a bad translation ( definitely and probably not might be similar in Czech! ) and FB translations have improved as it now shows -

I suspect the Ta152 is you can use it on other manufacturers kits as well, but it's a strange way to put it you would have thought they would have just left it at FW190D since it's for their kit.

...and I have already explained twice in this thread that the translations proposed by FB are usually useless:

 

 

 

 

 

I know and you don't need to go on about it I was just pointing it out to Jose Luis.

I know, I know, it wasn't directed at you.

 

A lot of people only look at the last page of a thread (not only this one, anyway), and I want to point out to them that it's worth browsing the earlier pages of threads, because there's a lot of interesting information there and, more often than not, also answers to their questions. In this case, they may find a correction to the rumour that the Ta 152 family has been promised (it hasn't), or even that it has already been done.

Like Piotr says, FB translating isn't the best, but I asked the question on this latest post about the Ta152 and they seem to have replied in English. This was their reply -

Maybe they are just using a bad translation app 😉

This is an honest answer, the Ta 152 family has been included in the (distant) production plans, but without setting any date.

 

I could bet that by the end of the year someone will ask when the Ta 152 will be released, as the model has been announced :cwl:
