Bonjour à tous,

>> Paolo Liguori : Good work. Bravo !

Mine (DMC Dragon) very improved with wings corrected. This kit is a copy at 1/72 scale of the last Trimaster model i.e. the Ta 152 C-0, the box containing a complete Ta 152 H-1 and resin parts (very inaccurate !) for engine cowlings and wings :

hello Jicéhem is jour 152 a Dragon kit ? It looks well , good policy has been the absence of codes or numbers as this plane was not operational FOCKE WULF TA 152 C Coucou04

i haven't used small resin parts , I tried to modify kit's parts

par paolo liguori Sam 27 Nov 2021 - 20:03

the model painted in Luftwaffe greys , the engine ring is waiting a solution

par paolo liguori Sam 27 Nov 2021 - 20:06

this is it, the annular radiator has a curved shape

The 1/72 model, besides the swepback of the wing which is bad, the outline of the wing leaves something to be desired. Assembling the engine cowlings to the fuselage is no piece of cake. It will be necessary to partition the fuselage to hide ugly empty engine realm and it will imperatively be necessary to represent an engine, visible through wheel wells. A circular radiator cowling more reprentative of the real thing can be found at Italeri on their ... Fw 190 D-9! The exhaust pipes protrude too much from their housing and the photo-etched part provided to represent the separation of the pipes are to be turned 180 °... The first pipe must imperatively be half hidden by its fairing, so as to that the fourth pipe is just vertically under the compressor's air scoop intake. The propeller applies more to the Fw 190 D-13 than to the Ta 152 C, whose propeller is strongly reminiscent of that of the D-9, but with a diameter of 3.60 m. I replaced the prototype airscrew spinner by a standard one with the secret hope finding a livery relating to one of the few operational Ta 152 C-1 / R3s ... (There were also some Ta 152 E, with Jumo 213 E engine). The fork of the tail wheel must be turned 180 °! The correction sweptback is long and tedious ... The landing gear covers represented by Dragon correspond to that of a D-9, not to those of a Ta 152 ... (The line drawing of the assembling notice, on the other hand, is accurate! A shame!)

Only the Trimaster 1/48 model has resin parts.
To build it I used the Ta 152 H wings modified into Ta 152 C wings...

resin parts presented by a friend of mine....about wings swepback , is it excessive in the Dragon Kit ? A modeler reletively affordable said that the wing profile ( in section) is wrong . In the end, no affordable design of Ta 152 C exists of its wing that was larger and wider of that of FW 190 set. About exausts I dont remember of them as the kit was completed some time ago FOCKE WULF TA 152 C Merci1

below the model radiator ring from the kit and intake from a LeO 45 I thought to use....

par paolo liguori Dim 28 Nov 2021 - 13:48

I made a ring of putty on the piece

par paolo liguori Dim 28 Nov 2021 - 13:51

the acient Lindberg model of FW 190 D had a similar wing with sweptback , real ?

par paolo liguori Dim 28 Nov 2021 - 14:17

exhausts seems bigger than FW 190D the first has to be covered , air intake is round, seems right

Bonjour à tous,

Wings of the Ta 152 C are larger than those of the Fw 190 in span by + 0,5 meter i.e. 0,25 m at the wing roots. Outside this enlargement the wing taper is the same than that of the "190". All takes good place thanks to the longest sweptback of wing root leading edge on the Ta 152 C.

I have one copy under the eyes and the Lindberg's "D-9" (1965) apart from other inaccuracies has good wings.

I mounted its wings on the old Airfix's "D-9" (1959) :

Original model (built ~1964) :

Improved with Linberg's D-9 wings and new propeller and spinner (built in 1969) :
