Jesus, Larry, you've been a very busy man.

Nice detail work mate. Combined with the colours you've been doing lately your 152 should be absolutely chit-hot (chit-hot = good... just incase you guys are missing your Australian dictionaries).

Wear and tear on a 152C.. I suppose this would be the same sort of wear & tear you'd find on an H model.



Wow, that's far more advanced paint wear than I had expected.

Great photo.. Thanks m00t.

That's a prototype mule, so the wear might be exceptional.  By the last days, though, some planes probably had patches as used as that.

Caption for 167 in the Czech book reads:
"WN 167, Straubing, undoubtedly JG301, 1945"
Předposlední vyrobený stroj o jehož bojovém nasazení vypovídá značnně opotřebovaný povrch křídel u trupu.
Penultimate made machine ("o") which/whose (martial) (deployment/setting) testifies well/substantialy attrited surface (wing/aileron) and fuselage.

The profile looks like it was based at least in part on this picture. You can see the wear that the profile shows there.
I'm not sure if that's really a different band of color on the tail, it sort of looks like it's just damp with some liquid.  Or maybe they used whatever random paint color they had on hand.  It doesn't look like green, which should be lighter than #81, not darker as on the picture.

The doted shading on WN003's horizontal stab is bare metal.

Yea I use that one for trim tabs, but from all the photos I seen it just looks to dark, and RLM 27 and 04 look a little to bright.

Im talking about photos like those profiles in this thread. Iv never seen any with that dark of red. I dont think Iv ever seen a color photo of a real Ta152, but I do have a color photo of a 190 with JG301's reich defence tail markings. I cant post it if you want.

Note that of those, Green 3 is the default skin.

I guess that's the JG11 skin he was talking about.

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


JG11 is Green 2, with the solid yellow band.

Compared to that Fw 190, TK, your RVD looks too dark. Particularly the red, the photo makes it look like a very rich red.
