Fw-190 and Ta-152 WHIF Ideas

[GTX]

Something silly - twin engine, high altitude recon/bomber with second crewman in nose and tricycle undercarriage:

I'd love to see someone flair that on final.

How about this? Fw 190 on floats!



Quick and dirty mash (took all of five minutes). The Fw 190 is the F-8 variant, the floats come straight off an A6M2N Rufe (and are "somewhat" to scale, I think).

Continuing with the idea the ground attack FW-190 was kept in production long after WW-II ended might again put the machine face to face with the Beetle, this time in USAF markings around 1970 and a hippie in the bug.    Tamiya has both kits available in the same scale.......

NOT so silly -- maybe it's just me but I'll build one !!  Long wing -- light green & mauve uppers, light blue under -- just shorten the nose glazing by a tad  

Might even have a go at the asymetric Bv-152.

I also picture it in NMF as a high altitude recon/attack.

Add four 30mm in the wing roots for a Focke-Wulf responce to the He-219 ?

With a cannon nose like the Me-262's it could be a ground-attack machine ??

(oh, yes -- the back of the nacelles should be flat on top like the Bv-155's)

Greg,

What would a D-9 with a slight extension in the rear fuselage plug look like?   I'm thinking of putting an ''armored'' sheet around the radiator of Tamiya's D-9 and putting it into service in either Korea or Vietnam with American markings of some sort.  Usual cliche's of the period apply.   I'd use the Dragon D-11 or -13 but already have the D-9 in house and I'm being cheap for the moment.  


[Edited for clarity.... usual Daryl Johnson bumblings apply to original]

Probably like a  D-9 with a slight extension in the rear fuselage plug. .

No, seriously (but not too much), how does this correspond to your idea:

Like a Ta152C perhaps?

[Daryl J.]

That's the ticket.   Thanks.   It proportions out well.   Sometimes great ideas just are so cattywompus if actually made.  

[Edit]  Winglets, glass cockpit, carbon fibre prop etc. on the Ta-152H for a modern machine.  
[Edit #2]  JMN moment:  Did the Ta-152C have a plug that was longer than the D-9/11/13 had or did it simply have the enlarged vertical stab?   

[GTX]

This might help:



In essence the plug was the same, though the enlarged tail and longer nose make it look longer at first glance.

Does anyone know if there is a conversion available to make this Jumo 222 powered Ta152 derivative:

That helps visualize things very well.
Thanks from the very rainy autumnal Portland, OR metro area.

Don't know of a conversion, but someone on modellversium.de scratch-built one in 1/72. CLICKY for more pics.
