gregax Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Hi folks, may I present my latest (and longest) project. Started this beast 2 years ago, ZM Ta-152-H1 in 1/48. It's retty difficult to build due to strange parts brakdown, lots of filling and sanding was required to finish it off. I was lucky enough to get the PE parts for it, but the most time consuming was placing of HGW rivets over the entire airframe. Painted with MRP Paints, weathered with oils. Enjoy the pics! 65 1
Sky Keg Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 The long wait was certainly worthwhile. Very nice. I like how it looks. Mike
François Escudé Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Hi, so elegant plane, your rendering is absolutely stunning !!! love your painting skills , with special attention to the engine block with junker colors on it . great job really !! 👏
andyh59 Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 A great job very well done. I have ZM & Hobby 2000 in my stash will be well pleased if they turn out like this beast!!!!

And the details are quite soft.
Thom216 Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Despite the trials, you dun guud! Nice looking plane.
Spitfire31 Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Beautiful rendering of this elegant Ta 152 H-1! Maybe a few closeups, to show off the effect of your diligent riveting? 😉 Inspiring work. Kind regards, Joachim
Cellarfrog Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 amazing! thanks for sharing. Very nice looking outcome.
georgeusa Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 I agree with Joachim that the model deserves some close ups to show off the rivet and detail on the aircraft. This is really nice. I have the 1/32 version and am hoping the tribulations you had in 1/48 are because of a scale down and not because of a general design feature of the kit regardless of the scale. You did a great job on this 190 showing off its great lines and aggressive look. Thanks for sharing. And, please consider a few more detail photos. It is really hard to plagiarize your fine work without details. (I only steal ideas from the best.)
Mike Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 I love the long winged langnase, and was disappointed when Hobby Boss didn't add one to their Ta.152 line That's why I ended up with a ZM kit. Nice job

Kind regards, Joachim A closeup photo of rivets... i didn't want to go overboard with exposing rivets, but they are there. If it's worth the hard work? I think so, 2
SAT69 Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Great looking model. I wish I could build as well.

If it's worth the hard work? I think so, Interesting! The riveting is subtle enough not to announce itself as an effect per se, but it certainly adds that air of 'real' which is so hard to achieve. Beautiful work, with an artist's eye behind it. 👏👍
