Hanger Queen completed - Ta-183 "Fauna" of the LSK 1950

[Leading Observer]

This PM Models Ta-183 has been lurking at the back of my workbench for at least 2 years, waiting for inspiration as to an end user. Ferreting through my spare decals box, I discovered some very basic East German diamonds, although they lack the Compass and Sickle in the centre, and I thought why not? I know the Luftstreitkräfte der Nationalen Volksarmee [LSK] did not come into being until 1956 when the DDR joined the Warsaw Pact, but why not have it start a few years earlier with Luft'46 equipment? And it sits quite nicely with my alternative Tu-4 Bear

The markings look like dangerous goods placards lol. May contain explosives

I like the thought process and she suits those markings rather well

Pretty cool there!!!  Sometimes I don't know what to make of this airplane. I love T-tails and that helps but it's such an odd little feller at the end of the day.   


I like this treatment;  always been a fan of them roundels, too. Looks great!
