Here they are, the pics of my 1/48 scale Dragon Ta 152C.

My model is marked as ''white 3'' W.Nr. 389017 of 9th Staffel III./JG 301, 9th Staffel was equipped with the latest German fighter the Ta 152 and was to fly top cover for 10th Staffel aircraft equipped with air to air missiles. Once Mustang pilots learned the Ta 152C was not just another Dora version and were better than their P-51 Mustangs they avoided combat with them if at all possible.

Words fail me with the consistency of your work  :bow: :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks for looking NARSES2!
I have new pics of the D-13 also but have to upload them to my photo hosting site before I can post them, they should be posted later today.

Thanks very much Taiidantomcat!

Glad you liked the pics, sadly they are not as good as what I had planned on doing but I did not have much time to set up the photobase before the clouds returned.

Pics of the D-13 might be posted later today.

Wonderful work as usual Matrixone, I should be starting some Fw 190 builds during the holidays though I doubt that they will match your level of work.

Some of those pics really look like authentic wartime photographs.
Excellent standard!  :bow:

Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

Gondor,
I am looking forward to seeing your what-if Focke-Wulfs.

Now that the Ta 152C and Fw 190D-13 are finished I am racing to build a Tamiya Fw 190F-8, my plan is to finish it before the end of the year. This one will be real world so I won't post any in-progress pics here.

Gondor,
The Fw 190F-8 is now built and the wheel wells and cockpit was just masked off so I can begin painting. I will put up some pics up of this build but so far I have not taken any yet, this model was intended as a speed build.
This Fw 190F-8 will be made as a machine that fought on the Eastern front in spring 1945 and will get plenty of mud splatters on the airframe. ;)
