Started with the cockpit bits of course. I am very impressed, but not surprised, with how everything fits and the level ...

Nice choice of kit, like the way your clock's/ instruments have turned out.
Was each clock individual??
Good stuff, my next kit is a Tamiya, was good quality.
Thanks for uploading 👍👍

Thanks Mr D. You can't go wrong with a Tamiya, at least in terms of fit. Sometimes their details get simplified and supposedly a few kits have accuracy issues, but for assembly they are great. Had to do this one after the A-20G since it was so painfully fussy to fit together. This is a nice change!
I thought about punching out each instrument individually but it's so small it would have driven me mad. Fortunately, the decal is sized perfectly to the panel so if you align it carefully, it turns out fine.
This kit doesn't specifically say it, but you can do both open and closed engine panel. Since the engine fits with pins and poly caps, you can change them out, which I intend to do. It's a nice touch and the kit is fairly cheap. Pick one up if you haven't already.

I agree,after a frustrating build. You can go to a Tamiya kit and get back to what the hobby is about. . . Enjoyment, satisfaction, reasonable accuracy and a decent finish. Good interior John, looks like the 162 is on track as I would expect from your good self. 🤘🥸🤟🥸👍

Brilliant thanks for the Advice John..😃👍👍. Appreciate it.
Good luck with rest of build ...nice subject 👌

Absolutely cracking Harrier, l did the old Tamiya kit, came out ok for what it was.
Nicely done 👍👍👍

My next big project is turning this FROG into a Prince. Wish me luck I'm going to need it.
27 January, 18:25
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I'm following. In my opinion the Ta-152H is the most beautiful plane of WW II. I got the kit from Kora in my stash and hope to start the build in spring this year. Good luck and, above all, have fun building it.
27 January, 20:18
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Nicolas, I agree. It's a long, lean, fighting machine as they say. Definitely one of the more elegant designs to come out of the war.
27 January, 22:10
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I had to widen the fuselage today, in order to make space, before I scratch build the cockpit.
29 January, 01:47
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
this is going to be awsome.
I am picking kits that are near perfect so I have fun.
but there are also people who pick not-so-perfect-kits like this Ta152 and they still have loads of fun!
GL 🙂
31 January, 13:12
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Well mostly I pick not-so-perfect-kits because I'm a cheap skate. I'd rather pay 6 euros than 40 for a kit. I do have some moderately priced kits and they are a lot faster and fun to make, but often I just have the need to challenge myself and see where my skill level is at.
31 January, 17:56
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
@Skyhiker: I totally like your approach and I think you did a great start!
31 January, 19:16
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
same here @Skyhiker, I really like the 6eur price point. so affordable. probably thats why I started to look into the 1/144 scale 🙂
31 January, 19:58
![](/profiles/img/127872-122-s.jpg)
Excellent work on the exhausts, and the cockpit is coming along nicely.
2 February, 03:24
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I did a bit more today but I can't seem to get any images to upload. Anyone else having these problems?
2 February, 19:03
![](/profiles/img/28845-385-s.jpg)
Looking at photo #17 I want to give a tip:
I would be a little careful keeping the roll of masking tape on the table. I like keeping them in a holder, or placed in a bag, to avoid the side of the roll picking up all kind of dirt.
2 February, 19:10
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Yes, I keep my tapes in a bag but it doesn't seem to help as well as it should. I think I need a better bag. When I photograph things at this scale there is more dust than I realize.
2 February, 19:18
![](/profiles/img/127872-122-s.jpg)
I can finally upload my images again now, I was having problems too.
2 February, 20:13
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Treehugger I cleaned my tape and got a new bag. Thanks for pointing that out. No need for fuzzy tape.
2 February, 20:20
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I have to take a break and will be back in a week. I must say I am in love with this plane. It's really a beautiful design with those long wings. I can't wait to get back to it.
8 February, 06:54
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
I'm going to build this one from my stash this year, definitely following! 👍
8 February, 14:14
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
The canopy was totally uneven and so I decided to do the risky thing and file it from the inside. Hopefully I didn't just ruin it.
2 March, 13:17
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
I have built 70s Tamiya kit - but that was a least workable. The base was there even though many errors. This 'kit' just seems like a waste of time. Like trying to make a dog poop look edible by putting a cherry on top.
If I saw this kit I would stamp it into the ground. Useless
8 April, 20:15
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
This kit has its flaws but nothing that can't be corrected with a little bit of skill. Are there more accurate kits out there that are easier to build - yes. But the modern trend of wanting perfect kits seems counter to the art of modeling. If you have ever built a model from a block of wood you wouldn't call this kit useless. Challenging or time consuming I can agree with but it is not crap.
10 April, 08:09
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I haven't given up yet. Sometimes life forces me to take breaks but I hope to get back into this one soon. I have to put a lot of tiny details in the cockpit next and I need the right head space for that. Kits like these take time and often I will start easier kits mid process to keep things flowing. I absolutely agree that reboxing old kits without a mold date is deceptive. Thankfully with this site we can look up the history and sometimes see the sprues before buying anything. I've only had one kit that I couldn't do anything with. I bought it for 20 bucks opened up and threw it directly in the trash. That was a Top Gun F/A-18 Hornet snap kit, which really was a piece of shit.
10 April, 16:03
![](/profiles/img/90311-414-s.jpg)
Following. Really looking forward to the end result.
Especially since I built this kit myself last year. Although I didn't put so much effort and detail into it as you are doing.
10 April, 21:29
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Worked on the canopy and tried to figure out how the scratch built cockpit will fit into the body.
2 May, 23:45
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
It's coming along!
From about halfway back on the underside there should be no join line - but forward of halfway you are good which makes things a little easier.
Just an idea but you can download the ZM instructions to get an idea?
6 May, 10:13
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Trez your message is pretty cryptic. Are you talking about panel lines or internal wing structures? The last photo is just a dry fit. I haven't started with dealing with any panel lines yet. I've been working on the inside of the wing walls to make something that gives an impression of space for the wheels.
6 May, 11:45
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
Apologies - I meant the external join lines. I can see what you done - it looks good. I thought the ZM instructions would help as a guide
6 May, 12:56
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Trez, thanks for your ideas. I'm using a lot of photos and the instructions from a 1:32 model to help figure out what is going on. This little model is a challenge to correct but I'm having fun pushing my skills and learning as I go.
6 May, 15:36
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I worked out most of the cockpit issues today. It's not perfect but I got it in there.
15 May, 23:09
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Moreno, I'm glad you're liking it. This is kinda pushing my skills a bit. We'll see what happens in the end together.
15 May, 23:11
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Getting this kit to accept a cockpit was like pounding a square peg through a round hole. I had to reshape the whole damn fuselage.
16 May, 03:35
![](/profiles/img/25429-812-s.png)
Whoah!!! Amazing what you did to that old tooling! Very cool to watch! 👍🏼
16 May, 15:20

Really liking what you're doing, Skyhiker, and learning lots too. Impressed with your skills 🙂
16 May, 19:43
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Łukasz the shape of the hood is really off in the kit. The superglue is just material for me to try and sculpt into a better hood.
16 May, 20:26
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
No, It's just cheap super glue from a discount store that I poured right from the tube and hardened with accelerator.
16 May, 22:08
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Well the fine engraving blade I just bought broke within a day of use. Very frustrating.
23 May, 14:42
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Luckily I bought a .02 mm blade in addition to the .01 mm that broke. It will have to do even though I would prefer the lines to be a little bit thinner.
23 May, 15:06
![](/profiles/img/25429-812-s.png)
Amazing progress! Once you go the route of updating such an old kit, there's no way back, is there?
24 May, 22:19
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks Patrick, your right there is always more to discover and do. I'm having fun with it. Of course I have no idea what it will look like in the end. I'm spending far too many hours allowing myself to be lost in process. But if that's what it takes, why not?
24 May, 23:19
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
It's amazing how every kit I look at of a FW Ta 152 H is different. All the photos of the original aircraft are so blurry that details are impossible to pick out, so I'm left with looking at kits and guessing which ones are correct.
26 May, 01:25
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Anyone out there with a book on the TA 152? I'm trying to figure out if the top of the flaps have a vertical line down the center of them or not. From underneath there is a line there but I am getting conflicting images of the top surface. Can anyone post a decent image?
28 May, 16:28
![](/profiles/img/111789-903-s.jpg)
I looked through some of my books and picture collection. But to find even a picture of the Ta152 is rare. 🙁
28 May, 17:06
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks Mattes. There are a few decent books out there but they go for 80 Euros and I can't afford that. I doubt the library would have anything worth while. Maybe the model shop will let me look through one of their books but usually they are sealed in foil. Hopefully someone here has something. Getting panel lines correct is not so easy. Even worse are the rivets.
28 May, 17:49
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I found this image which clearly shows the flaps divide in two sections. Interestingly the sections are not even like the underside.

I do not have the magazine, but kind of stumbled over the link 😉
31 May, 13:34
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks Ben, this kit gets a bad rap. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Of course I am putting a lot of work into it to make it better. But if its done straight out of the box it's not that bad. The backwards propeller is a stupid engineering mistake but that's an easy fix.
31 May, 23:54
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Yeah, I was a little heavy handed, but it's not a problem. I just glued it back together. I prefer trenching and filling over trying to get the lines the exact depth overall and then accidentally sanding away lines. The only problem with using this method is the deep panel lines can make the model unstable in places if you are not careful. But in the end it should all work out.
7 June, 21:47
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I am slowly moving forward on the panel lines behind the scenes. This is the part I have to force my way through because I don't really enjoy it. But it is coming along and I could have some photos soon.
2 July, 18:21
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thank you Moreno, re-scribing is definitely the part that's the least fun for me too. Some days I have to force myself just to do one line. If you do that once a day eventually it gets done. But yeah, re-scribing sucks.
6 July, 16:21
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Big step made with attaching the wings. It makes me feel like I am moving forward after all.

Thanks Thomas, I enjoy the process of trying to figure out how to do stuff. The model is just an added bonus in the end.
12 July, 13:20
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks Moreno. I'm having fun with it, mostly. The panel lines were a drag but I got through that part. Hopefully after the primer I won't have to any major touch ups. But we will see. One step at a time...
13 July, 16:13
![](/profiles/img/65226-827-s.jpg)
Watching you making process is indeed great to watch. The plane is starting to look great!
16 July, 22:54
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Wow! How do you filled the lines? How was you able to calculate the exact quantity?
17 July, 05:43
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Moreno, I used an engraving tool to cut deep lines and then I rubbed white putty into them. By rubbing the excess off it automatically brings the lines to just below the surface of the model. As the lines dry they also shrink a bit. So, it was not too hard to do. The trick is to use enough water and a brush to apply the putty and to use enough water on a paper towel or cotton bud to remove the excess. Hard to get to areas need to be cleaned up with a wooden tooth pick.
17 July, 06:01
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I never would believe that the base kit is a Revell's offering.... Awesome job!
17 July, 06:31
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I worked on some details today. Tomorrow I will give it another coat of primer and hopefully start the riveting.
17 July, 21:24
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I am debating with myself when the best time to do riveting is. If you do it before priming you run the risk of filling the holes. If you do it after priming it makes it harder to correct mistakes. If you do it after the final paint job you run the risk of fucking everything up. Anyone have any experience with riveting?
19 July, 13:17
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Regarding riveting: I have done it before priming but I don't see why you could not do it after. You'l have to sand after as the riveter leaves 'rings' around each divot (as it pushes the plastic out). In my experience, a thin coat of primer has negligible impact on the rivet holes (if it had, this would be a problem with any factory-riveted kit).
20 July, 23:38
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Alec, I tend to agree with you. My thoughts on doing the riveting after the primer was that the rivets may remain a bit better defined. But I am not convinced. I think I will have to do some tests for the future. By riveting before and after the primer on some styrene, then spraying a color coat over both should give me a better idea of which I prefer. Right now I feel like I prefer not doing it at all, because riveting is a pain. But that's just me feeling sorry for myself for wanting to do a half way decent job on this kit. I do wish I could find some reliable riveting guides for this plane. It seems like everyone is just guessing at it.
21 July, 00:00
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks Patrick, I haven't mastered riveting or panel lines yet but I'm learning. I am pretty limited in my tools and the scale is not the easiest. But with practice and study I hope to improve.
21 July, 22:44
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I've realized that one of the benefits of doing the riveting after the primer is that you can make sure that most of the sanding is completed. However inevitably there are areas that get messed up and sanding is required after all. I just haven't found the perfect solution.
21 July, 23:33
![](/profiles/img/49481-557-s.jpg)
Enjoying your progress a lot, the transformat is amazing.
I must say your plans are so clear and great reference where do you get your plans like these from, I search the tinternet but never find any as useful as your plans, any extra guidance would be appreciated
22 July, 08:12
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I drew my plans on the computer by looking at various images on the internet. Unfortunately I haven't found any place to download great paneling or riveting guides. There is a Russian website that has blueprints that I sometimes use but I'm not sure if it is still available. I didn't use it for this project.
22 July, 08:31
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Sy Bar, which plane will you be doing next? I can look around for blueprints and see if I can find anything useful.
22 July, 13:37
![](/profiles/img/49481-557-s.jpg)
Cheers Skyhiker v kind offer and thanks for the info. Not sure what will be next and if plans will be required but I'll keep you in mind should the need arise.
Keep up the work I'm loving watching the progress 👍
23 July, 20:34
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Widened the wing roots and I am continuing with the riveting today. Also I did a lot of research on the proper colors to use, which was not as easy as one would think. They certainly are not what the instructions say.
24 July, 17:51
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Great work as usual! I'm curious about the colours: aren't they the late RLMs?
24 July, 18:48
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
The colors are late RLM colors but not exactly as the instructions say. To start with they call for the hood to be RLM83 which of course is wrong, since in actuality that was a marine color and blue. Many paint manufacturers have some type of green with that number but it was based on a typing mistake in the original RLM records. I believe the hood should be RLM73 as in the original photos it is a bit darker than 81. The fuselage is RLM81 and RLM82, but there were three variants of 81, two that were brownish and one more green. The green is the correct one for this plane. The under carriage is RLM76, but once again we have three variants to choose from; one that is greyer, one bluer and one more tan colored. The greyer one is correct. There is confusion about whether the nose is red or black. I still have to do more research on this. I believe the propeller blade was RLM70
24 July, 19:16
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I hope to be finished with the riveting today. Most of my time was spent trying to figure out which of the conflicting diagrams was closest to the original. I don't know if I got it right since there are no surviving planes left.
28 July, 10:23
![](/profiles/img/126781-995-s.jpg)
Great Work on this old Revell Kit and there is still one surviving aircraft.In National Air and Space museum.

National Air and Space museum has a different version of this plane. It is very similar but there are a lot of differences.
29 July, 14:37
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I redid the engine today and laid down a second layer of primer. The rivet lines came out well. There are just a few small touch ups on the engine cover and wing tips to do before I start on the wings.
30 July, 15:59
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks DerMattes. It's more a scratch build than a kit at this point. It's starting to come together. I still have a while to go though. How is a scratch build defined at the official contests?
31 July, 00:46
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
It's like you are building a vac kit with the amount of work and attention to details you are putting into this build. Impressive and inspiring!👍🏻
31 July, 08:04
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I made a gunsight out of 7 scratch built parts that is only one millimeter in size.
31 July, 14:23
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Next I have to try and repair or replace the front windshield. Somehow it cracked when I was sanding it down. Is it me or do the clear parts on Revell kits always have problems?
2 August, 04:51
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Well I painted the propeller today but afterwards I had to clean my Iwata airbrush and change the needle. Unfortunately the needle noozle broke off in my airbrush and there is no way to fix it! Now I have to rely on a cheap Chinese knock off to finish painting until I can save an extra 150 bucks to buy a new airbrush.
8 August, 16:58
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
That sucks. I'd love to lend you my second airbrush, but unfortunately that's also just an old Chinese product at the moment. Probably wouldn't help much.
8 August, 18:10
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
I will try scratch building the canopy if that doesn't work I will have to get a vacuform machine.
20 August, 19:17
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
Nice to see a modeller 'working the problem' rather than splashing out on loads of AM. It's also refreshing to see a build being carried out to its fruition and not left dwelling in the eternal online shelf of oblivion. I'm also working on a 72 kit that needs much hacking and slashing although not as much as this one - I suppose the irony is that some brand will finally release this type - as it is a hole that has yet to be filled! 🫡 👍 😊
21 August, 14:38
![](/profiles/img/138076-707-s.jpg)
I wish I could add another like for your vacuum machine! Man, you're really cool!

Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Thanks Michael!
I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot

Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Thanks guys, waiting to get free from work this week to star painting the fuselage and engine. Let's see how that turns out

Engine almost done, except for the PE parts. I'm amazed of how it's all turning out tbh, didn't expect this great finish on such small parts

Looking good 👍 the instrument's look good, did you get the clocks to sink in with softener ??
I have this one to build next after my lAR-80.
Thanks for uploading 😁👍

Hey MrD thanks! Well Im sorry I can't help you with that because I used the photo etched and plastic instrumentation provided by the kit from Eduard. Sure someone with more experience with Tamiya decals can help you with that in here.
Looking forward to see how yours turns out!

Thanks 👍👍
May look into the PE kit.
Belts come out nice, do you glue PE direct to plastic or do you have to prep first ?
Coming on nicely 👌

I use cyanoacrylate for the PE parts, just a little amount sticks okay, although at this scale there's some parts that are way to hard to make them stick and my not so skilled application of the glue leaves a lot of residue on the model. I try to clean up the best I can but it's quite challenging sometimes
If you want to build a good looking cockpit with the extra detail I recommend you the PE for sure. But if your main goal is the exterior and not to focus so much on the interior the PE kit doesn't include a lot of things for the exterior, and the tamiya kit I think gives a really nice looking base cockpit

With half the plane chipped, I'm leaving for the week. There's still a lot of work to do regarding chipping and weathering to blend the paints. I'm having so much fun, and applying new technics for me that I'm sure I'll use in future models.

Thanks Miguel 😃👍
I've only been building again as an adult for just over a year, so the advice helps me improve.
And as l said will probably be my next build.
Good luck with everything Miguel.. enjoy 👍👍👍

I hum Hans Albers all the time: 'Flyer, greet me the sun, greet me the stars and ....' The reason: the two Junkers F.13s were finished today! I'll show you the results in two galleries attached to this project. The F-13 'Annelise', in its original form an altitude record machine from 1919 and semi-legal 'Moscow Flyer' can be seen here first. The construction is not for the faint-hearted and perfection in the final result is not to be found here. But as the saying goes: ' Greet me the sun, the stars and the moon.... ' 🙂
