Dave J Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 So with the Male Tank coming close to finishing... I am wanting a fairly quick and easy build to tackle.. I was thinking of rocking with another Tamiya kit, but Jim made me take a pic of the stash and told me to do the 152... So here I go.... Its going to be built from the box, but I will add HGW Belts and brass tubing for the gun barrels a I think I will give it a go riveting it too. My chosen scheme will be one of Willi Reschke Ta 152's, since it has the Bare Metal underside panels. Ta 152 H-1 Green 9 Ta 152 H-0 Black 13 5
Administrators James H Posted January 20, 2015 Administrators Posted January 20, 2015 Yes! About time. Step away from the Tamiya This actually builds up pretty well, and certainly better than their Mustang. Build photos please! 1
wackyracer Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Looking forward to this one. Seat drawn up.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 20, 2015 Administrators Posted January 20, 2015 Dave. So Jim didn't only force you to take a pic of your stash (and i do hope that means a pile of boxes down there in NZ) but he also made you build your ZM 152? Did Jim choose that scheme too? pfffff 1
TeWika Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Dave, She's a good build, I've just ordered one more. Looking forward to your buildup! Cheers Ted

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 20, 2015 Administrators Posted January 20, 2015 Jeroen, yes. Yes I did. I even picked the tools to use, and those to ignore. you told Dave to ignore me? 3
Dave J Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Dave, She's a good build, I've just ordered one more. Looking forward to your buildup! Cheers Ted If it wasn't for your build... I most likely building something else! 1
Administrators Fran Posted January 20, 2015 Administrators Posted January 20, 2015 Green 9! Jim is the "Godfather" Jeroen... don`t mess with him or else! :)
Dave J Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Yea I am leaning toward Green 9... Like that pre painted nose 1
Dave J Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Made a start on the 152.. Please excuse the poor phone pixs! The cockpit has been built up and sprayed with Mr Color RLM 66. I have left out the parts that won't been seen. This will quicken the build with out worrying about details that won't be seen etc. Lower wings panels glued to the spars and tail has been made up. The rivets in the wheel bay are pretty soft in detail, I will be sanding these off and adding some of the HGW rivet lines to replace them. 1
TeWika Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Dave, Good start there! I've got a feeling we'll see a bunch of Ta152's this year aniversery and all. cheers Ted
rieser Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Mine can stay on the shelf while I watch you guys. Now where's the esky...
Administrators James H Posted January 22, 2015 Administrators Posted January 22, 2015 Nice work Dave. You put those wings together yet to check the full span. Very impressive.
Dave J Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Yea it's quite large! It will take a whole shelf in the cabinet by itself! 1
repeater Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Excellent choice.. some great Ta152 builds happening now.. coincidently I picked up this kit last week.. the 'manga' boxing which of course also has the normal decals. Dave I liked your idea about the ZM group build!
