Focke Wulf Ta 152 H, 1/72 - Revell 03981

The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H Revell ref. 03981 is a model of a German military aircraft from the Second World War to be assembled at 1/72. It reproduces the Ta 152 H-1 variant, a high-altitude fighter derived from the Fw 190 D and developed under the direction of Kurt Tank.

The Ta 152 H was used in limited numbers starting in spring 1945. Its silhouette is particularly distinguished by its large wingspan, suited for high-altitude missions, and by its pressurized cockpit. This subject is an interesting piece for a collection dedicated to late-Second-World-War German aviation.

The Revell 03981 model

Molded in injected plastic, this kit includes 39 parts. Once assembled, the aircraft measures 148 mm in length with a 202 mm wingspan. At a scale of 1/72, each dimension of the real aircraft is reduced by a factor of 72, a format appreciated for military aircraft collections and compact air dioramas.

Assembly includes a movable propeller as well as a landing gear that can be displayed either retracted or deployed. The kit also features a pilot figure, structured surfaces, a decal sheet, and detailed assembly instructions.

Suggested markings

The decals allow you to recreate a Ta 152 H-1 W.Nr. 150168 “Green 9” from the Stab/JG 301, in Germany in April 1945.

Assembly and finishing

Assembling a plastic model requires suitable glue, as well as careful preparation of the parts before painting. A primer helps achieve uniform finishing and highlights any sanding touch-ups. Decals should be applied to a clean, smooth surface; varnish can then protect the markings and prepare a light weathering effect if desired.
