Ta152C

[MiloMorai]

Captions look Ok Dan except for the last one.

No WNr can be seen. H-1 started with 150020 or 021 and went to 150040, 150167-169.

The 1st pic is the V-7, WNr 110007, which flew for the first time Jan 8 45.

Amazing what turns up in the old home library.  Another profile of a JG301 Ta152H-1.  No clue how accurate

Like I said about that page before (posted by Larry and Krusty) it has quite a few misstakes in it. All the info is taken from Three 30-40 year old books. After that alot more info has been discovered.

Ta 152's never flew top-cover to 262's (another thing written on that Page). It just another myth. It was sure as hell never used with the Mistels, there weren't enough Ta's built for that + that part was easily more suited for the 190 A's.

Larry, if you really want info about the Ta 152, and want accurate info I sugest you by this  book. It is without doubt the best and most well researched Ta 152 book you will find with lots of pictures, drawings and charts.

According to a list of WNr in the Hermann 152 book, 150028 was converted from a H-0. Would say it is wishful fanatasy by someone.

Get the book Wilbus suggested.

Better profile of the one posted earlier.  JG301 flown by Josef Keil

[Krusty]

But, it sas "110028" not "150028". Any info on 110028?

[Guppy35]

Here ya go Larry.  From the box art of a Ta152 my son was building a while ago.  Up close and personal.  Might look good as wallpaper

[Larry]

Thanks guppy. I started on that second profile that you posted flown by  Willie Reschke yesterday. Since the default Ta152 is 256x256 and is kinda in I have to do the panel lines from a pic I have, but I dont have one that shows the wings rivets and was wondering if anyone has one. I just need the top and bottem wing riveting, and cant find the thread in the skins forum that has a website that shows planes rivets and panel lines.

[Krusty]

Hrm.. that's a tough one... I actually did some searching a while ago to find stuff to make a good 152 skin. The ones that haven't been done were almost identical to the ones that have been, so I didn't make one. I do remember, however, that finding rivets was hard. I searched all over the Internet and found nothing. Best bet would be.... I don't know... maybe close-ups of the Dora wing? Up til the 11m point it would be very similar.

[Larry]

Yea I might end up just going with a non historical riveting methodso the wing doesnt get to cluttered.

[Krusty]

Going back to the green 13 -- the supposed -C color plate, does anybody know anything about wrk no 110028?

Also: would like if this comment about having 2 operational Cs could be verified or some such.

[Mime]

wonder how long good old Dr Tank would make the next variant of the 190. we could call it the Ta 152M for Mandingo

[moot]

Fat chance.
A truckload of Cragganmore wouldn't make HT blink if it had 152C written on the side.

[DoKGonZo]

Yeah ... this is interesting and all (I didn't know about the C model before) but unlikely to yield a new plane. If the Fw190 line were modeled better there'd be a lot less interest in the Ta152 since the D9 would probably be very close to perk-worthy.

As far as I can tell there never was a WNr. 110 028. This is allmost certanly a misstake and a mixup by the artist.

List of prototypes (all TA variants).

The last plane in the 110 batch was 110 026.

Two prototypes using 150 batch numbers existed, these were 150 027 and 028. Both were used as engine test beds and Mk 103 engine mounted cannon test beds (what would be the C3 version of the plane). Some more planes were converted to C3 standards for testing.

It is not known, and it is quite unlikely that any more than four planes of the C-0 (pre-production) ever flew. V6, V7 and V8 aswell as one converted Ta 152H (V27 or V28).
