Ta152 progress
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/8/1/2/1054812-34174-59-720.jpg)
Cockpit is finished. I'm building the model OOTB so the seatbelts are the ones provided in the box PE. I've only painted it.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/8/1/3/1054813-34174-61-720.jpg)
I chose to do a simple painted instrument panel.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/8/1/1/1054811-34174-19-720.jpg)
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/8/1/4/1054814-34174-84-720.jpg)
There is a part of the engine provided in the box that can be seen through the wheel bays from below.

![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/8/1/7/1054817-34174-22-720.jpg)
All of the small bits and pieces have been painted and weathered. I mixed the parts up, in this picture you can see the wing assembly from the Dora..
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/1/1/5/1068115-34174-47-720.jpg)
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/1/1/6/1068116-34174-24-720.jpg)
Canopy glued on with pva-glue.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/1/4/1068114-34174-44-720.jpg)
And masked with the Montex-mask. Im not really a fan of montex canopy masks. they are not pliable enough and often lift up in the corners. I prefer how the eduard masks work.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/1/7/1068117-34174-58-720.jpg)
As can be seen there is a bit of lift of the canopy mask after spraying the inside color.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/1/8/1068118-34174-33-720.jpg)
Result after black base paint and marbling. I use XF-1 and XF-2 for this.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/3/7/2/1072372-34174-13-720.jpg)
Masking and painting the fuselage camo is finished. I will have to do some more airbrushing to make the dot pattern on the horizontal stabiliser.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/3/7/3/1072373-34174-48-720.jpg)
Masking for the camoflage of the wing sections.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/3/7/4/1072374-34174-44-720.jpg)
Main camo is finished.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/3/7/5/1072375-34174-92-720.jpg)
I have montex masks for this build. The masks for the insignias are really easy to place due to the transparency of the masks.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/3/7/6/1072376-34174-38-720.jpg)
I'm happy with the result. 🙂
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/3/7/7/1072377-34174-99-720.jpg)
Having masked and painted the insignias for the sides of the fuselage, I realized that I had made the background too large. It will have an impact on the rest of the markings, but I don't feel like re-masking and painting it again... 🙁
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/3/7/8/1072378-34174-44-720.jpg)
As can be seen, the black markings have partially dark background, due to my previous mistake. But I think it is good enough.
Not many beople visiting my household is going to notice it anyway! 😉

![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/3/7/9/1072379-34174-85-720.jpg)
Camo and markings are finished! 🙂
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/9/6/5/1080965-34174-46-720.jpg)
The last touch is masking and painting the underside insignias.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/9/6/7/1080967-34174-89-720.jpg)
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/9/6/6/1080966-34174-66-720.jpg)

Finally a new project after a while of inactivity. This is the first of three Fw's that I'm building simultaneously. 🙂

Yes, really good fit on this kit. I'm happy to be back! Needed some time to get my model building mojo back. 🙂

If you manage to build all three without mixing the parts, you get to wear a sash: "Three in one go"! 😉

You are welcome Alan and bughunter! 🙂
I've actually already mixed the parts up a couple of times (in pic 7 you can see the wing-assembly for the Dora.), but nothing glued to the wrong model yet.. (I think..) 😉

A little more progress on the Ta-152. Fuselage and wings are assembled. Canopy masked and painted with interion color and the whole outside masked and preshaded with a black base.

Never saw combat - but I do admire the lines. External Differences between this and the Dora's?
