1/48 Italeri Ta 152 H

This article is my conclusion of the developments by Kurt Tank in WW II on the aircraft in the FW series.

This is the Italeri Ta 152 H that sadly does not come with the motor that was included in the original Trimaster release, but this is a re-release of the Trimaster kit from the 1980's complete with the Trimaster logo on the sprues.  I wanted to experience building this kit after the fun I had building the Fw 190G.  This kit does have some deep seams that I filled with stretched sprue and then smoothed over....otherwise the fit was ok pffft.

I painted the bird in the first step with Revell Enamel White, more than Surfacer replacement , but further work made me curious.  I then set up the RLM colors in layers, original Gunze RLM from the can , but added diluted layer several times.  I hope it is noticed the painted shades that are without any addition of black or dark tones.

As a conclusion I added the cannulae and clothesline and unfortunately and the PE ring antenna.  Before the decals I applied semi-gloss then the decals and again satin clear coat to finish my model.
