1/48 Ta 183 Huckebein ‘Afrika’
Hello there,
This is a recent work of mine.
The kit was reproduced in 2018 by Academy and the Original kit from AMtech was introduced at 2001.
So I searched good design for paint it and I found a image from https://goo.gl/images/BMx4BP.
Just with this image, I started painting.
And this is the result.
Thank you Studio Gekko!
Very cool
Thank you!
Jonghwan, Like George said, very cool! A wonderful bit of creativity, made into a very nice and fun looking model. Well done !
Thank you so much! I'll try some different type of Huckebein. Wait for that!
Lovely piece of work, Jonghwan. Creative, thought provoking, terrific modeling and artistic skills, and great photography.
I like this a lot.
I really appreciate your positive comment!
Great looking build.
Thank you so much!
Camo looks lovely
Thank you. The rhino looks some cute!
They already said said everything I was thinking. beautiful presentation, sir.
Thank you for your comment, sir.
Wonderful!
None of that historical correctness.
You've given your creativity free reign and achieved a great result.
That's right.
So I got a plan to make some other type of Huckebein.
Thank you.
Great camo scheme and subject jongwhan!
Nice work
Thank you so much, sir!
I'll try other types of camo. Please wait for that.
This is a really cool little jet model. Just love it! Really unique and fascinating subject matter! You did a great job with the complicated paint scheme. The detail work is great. I would like to give it a go myself. Something very different to build. I remember the Amtech release and had no idea this resurfaced with Academy. How was the build experience?
Thank you so much for your compliment!
If you make yours like this, I'll be very glad.
3 month ago, Academy re-released the Ta 183.
It's the same mold with the AMtech's.
Injection is neat and tidy.
There are many details omitted, but there was no problem in reproducing the overall shape. Each part fits easily and accurately.
I made this with no putty.
And academy gave us pre-cut canopy seal and photo-etched seat belt.
If you like Hukebein, highly recommend.

One of the cleanest looking models I’ve seen. Interesting!
Yes, I didn't weathering and kept it clean.
Thank you for your interest!
Like Rob said very clean and also very cool looking , I want one !
Thank you so much!
You can make it just a weekend.
Very nice!
Thank you!
For sure the most unusual Luft’46 I’ve ever seen. How did you paint the rhino? Is it all free hand or where masks involved? Great model Jonghwan, congratulations
Thank you for your interest and congratulation.
I painted the rhino with my homemade stencil mask.
Great imaginative build!
Thank you so much!
Fab what-if era fighter! Marvellous paintjob actually!
Thank you for your comment!
Coolest painting for this little plane. I really like dark grey color tone with another two tipical afrika camo color. they really goes well together
Thanks, Hongseob!
That is a fun kit, since there's nothing you can do that is "wrong" and you are only limited by your imagination. This is a really great result.
Thank you for your comment.
I'll make some more Huckebein.
Please wait for that.
Outstanding work, jongwan! @docaebee
