The Great LSM Twins Group Build ends July 3, 2024 ×

Recommended Posts

 

Here are some pics of my Ta-152 from Zoukei Mura on a diorama called „Willi Reschke“.

The model was built out of box with EagleCals decals. The pilot is from Aires and the fuel barrel out of a Tamiya set with a hose out of lead-wire.

Paints came from Tamiya and Gunze. The metal surfaces were painted with Alclad.

I made the engine-cowls open- and closeable. Lots of sanding and plastic sheet needed. Won‘t do it again.

Thanks for looking.

You mastered the TA-152 nicely and the little scene looks great. I have no idea, how you managed to get the cowlings closeable and looking right, when closed. I tried the same and failed, despite working on different solutions, even with bended PE hinges. Since then, I haven't touched a ZM kit, but have some in my stash and hope for the better.

Cheers Rob

Very nice indeed Kai. Love the subtle weathering and day to day wear.........congrats.......the 152 wings always look to slim and elegant for such a brutish fuselage.....

Thank you! 

I kept weathering to a minimum simply because these birds had no time to weather! Neither from flying hours nor time in the unit they served in.

Very nice job, Kai!  Really love the paintwork on this one.  Great Diorama!

What is the symbol with the tiger and propeller?

Thank you Gaz! Really appreciate that! 

As far as I remember it‘s the personal emblem of Willi Reschke.

Thank you Rob! 

I only managed to make the complete cowl-halfs removable. Other things were impossible. 

I have the ZM He-219 in my stash which I hopefully will build once...

Looked that up now in the Ta-152-bible:

It seems to be the emblem of III./JG301 and not the personal emblem of Willi Reschke.

Thank you for the extra effort!  Good to know!

The craftsmanship, detail and color is fantastic.  The paint schemes for these fighters is pretty detailed compared to some fighters of the period.  The engine and interior bring me in to the plane.  I am in the middle of getting the confidence and the capability to make the grass look as good as you did.  Now I know who to ask when I have made a mess of my landscape. :unworthy: Job well done, as always, Kai!

Very nice build! I wish I could find one of those kits to build myself but they're not out there. The figure looks like a Neanderthal with sausage fingers. I know it's not on you...your paint job did it some justice. 

Thanks for your feedback Matt!

You are totally right regarding the figure. When I got it I had the same thoughts like you! Really has a head, face and fingers looking like a Neanderthal. 
Maybe these were the last available pilots to fly a Ta-152...;)

Thanks for your feedback Frank. I appreciate that much! 

I always liked the late war german camouflage schemes with a mixture of unusual colors, their variations and even unpainted areas.

Regarding the grass: I had the same problem you describe. I solved it by buying the best available grass-mat from model-train suppliers (e.g. HEKI) and I also found some suppliers when I was at the SMW 2019 in Telford. I also tried it by myself (with mixed results) but the mats are not that expensive and look really good.

Ich bin rein zufällig auf diese Seite geraten..aber sehr erstaunt das man sich mit solch einer Hingabe mit diesem Thema und im speziellen Fall mit meinem Vater und der TA 152 beschäftigt.....Respekt für das sehr detaillierte Modell

MfG

Jürgen Reschke
