gregax Posted November 16, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The long wait was certainly worthwhile. Very nice. I like how it looks. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the details are quite soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 16, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted November 17, 2022 Share 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 17, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 👏👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
