152 Skin wish

If our artists could work on this skin, im sure it would be excellent ingame.  :aok

It's camo is perfect for medium/high altitude.

Beautiful!  Problem is that it is not an H model 152, and is wearing Prototype markings still.

This H-0, flown by Walter Loos, fought during the last WWII weeks, and scored several victories : extremely similar
to the C-0 camo depicted in my first picture...

Ok.

Not really.  First...Walter Loos was not the last pilot of that particular Ta152H in your second picture...nor did that plane last see service with JG301...though you probably believe so.  Additionally at the time the photo you posted was taken...the fuselage had already been painted over by the allies.

Second. Your initial picture is not a picture of a C-0.  It is a C1/R14 and frankly is a totally fictitious (though sexy) artists rendition, created solely for the cover art of a HobbyCraft 1/48 scale plastic model kit, released in 2012.  It is loosely based on Fw Ta152C-1 - W.Nr.110006, Focke-Wulf factory Sorau , Luftwaffe | VH+EY (December 1944)...but very loosely I would say.


Nevermind all of the above small details though  :rolleyes: ...plus 1 on your request...Bring it!




If you would like any more info regarding the Ta152, please feel free to PM me. 

Until such time as you can sell this skin, and the Brooklyn Bridge to HTC...may I suggest the following for your enjoyment:

Regarding the TA152H is your second photo.  I advise this much more accurate rendition of how that a/c looked in April/May '45: 



Cheers.

Copy that.


This is supposed to represent an H serial fighting in 1944/France (in JG-301 ofc). It's paint is approaching the camo i'd love to see ingame...  :pray

If I find that I am bored one of these weekends, I may just skin one for you Spirit.
This weekend I will be busy with a 109G6 for ReVo
