    Thank you Tom for getting this GB started, it’s a fine way to homage the life and work of Mr. Crandall.


    Have this decal sheet for quite some time, and have the Italeri Ta 152 kit even longer. I also have a couple of his 109 G decals (lovely choices there too), but my collection is already well packed with Messerschmitts while I lack the ultime derivation of Kurt Tanks Wurger.
    So later on I’ll start either green 6 or Yellow 7, not sure just now

    Green 6 is Willi Reschke's airplane - victor over a 486 Squadron Tempest in a turning fight at 100 feet altitude, the only real dogfight the Ta-152H got into. He later said he didn't know how good the Ta-152 was till he got into the fight.
