Ta 152 Skins

Yellow 1:



Yellow 5:

The fuselage is obviously off, but that's at least some evidence for a red prop hub for this one.

My copy of Luftwaffe Im Focus with a profile of White 5 still hasn't showed up

Green 9 catches my eye, and I'd like to do it.

Krusty, pretty please do the first example? It looks much better with more green IMHO.

Historical accuracy is what we're after.

True. Though whos to say which is correct 

[Larry]

Ill be redoing "green 9"

Dibs on Ta 152H-1, WNr CW+CY, WNr 150025, Stab/JG301.

And if we are in agreement on doing Ta 152H-0's I would like to do Ta152H-0 coded "White 7", WNr.150007 of 5./JG301.

Well Green 9, Green 4, and JG11 were the only ones I wanted to do, apparently they're all accounted for.

[Larry]

MINE!

[moot]

Krusty, you guys could agree to paint one or the other in different degrees of maintenance, or something.

And yeah, H-0s are probably ok with HTC.

Wings top pattern on WN003 as it was out of the factory at Sorau in '44:


The strange thing about this one, is that the camo looks different on either side.  E.G. on the fuselage aft of the wing roots.

Green 1 is a dunkel/licht grun scheme if that's what you're after.

According to that profile, anyway.

Krusty, I'll take Yellow 1. I'm happy doing any of them, so if you had your heart set on Green 4, go for it.


I'll get started on this one in the next couple of days:


Thanks for the profile, m00t, that will be a big help.


-Edit-
I was just trawling for some photos and as far as I can tell, that profile lines up with this photo:


So I'm good to go.

 

[Larry]

Took me a while but Im done with basic panel lines.


Anyone else have trouble with the main gear?

[Krusty]

Xasthur, are you sure it's yellow, and not misinterpreted green? I have a feeling I asked that before, but can't recall a response.

[moot]

Yes, Xasthur, that's what the profile was made from IIRC.

WN003 (same plane as these pics) profiled in Model Art's Ta152 issue:

He says that in hindsight he'd do the prop hub in either white on black, or white on green.  But another profile of WN 168 (Green 8 and 9) with a red hub shows up in Model Art's issue, as Red 9:

That did occur to me. My thoughts were that if it were green it would appear darker than yellow in a black and white photo.

That '1' looks almost exactly the same shade as the yellow on the Reich Defence Band, so to my eye it would be safe to say that it was, infact, yellow and not green.
