Focke Wulf Ta-152 C-0 V7 werk no. 110007
Here’s another one of my favorite models. It’s the Focke-Wulf Ta-152. The kit is manufactured by Hobby Boss and is in 1/48 scale. It is finished using Model Master enamels. This is an amazing kit and it went together without a problem. I used bare metal foil to replicate the finish under the wings. It appears that this area was left unpainted as were many of the late war Luftwaffe aircraft. I posted two original black and white photos that I used as a reference. I found these pictures online.
22 additional images. Click to enlarge.

Nice job, Louis….I really like that. I never knew about the underside of the wings being bare metal – you’d think after all these years I would have seen or heard something/somewhere about that little factoid. 🙁

Louis, here I am, YEARS later! @lgardner Do you know WHY the sections on the wing were left Natural? And about how many were done that way? This is new to me.
Inquiring minds need to know.
