Reviews : HobbyBoss Ta 152-C11

I purchased the Hobby Boss FW TA-152 C-11 at a reasonable price and the model is a very good model. It was fun to play with the tri-color paint scheme, and the construction of the model was a new challenge as it was made to be constructed differently than any other fighter plane that ive encountered as yet(regardless of which company that makes the models). Heres my problem with the Hobby Boss version: all of the research that ive done about the TA 152 states that their were two guns mounted to the wings, two atop the cowling, and one in the nose, and NONE had any bomb armaments. Well, this model requires that u place two guns UNDERNEATH the wings, and a MASSIVE torpedo-looking bomb down the center of the bottom of the fuselage (this thing is long enough to go almost from the cowling to the tail!) So, if anyone knows why, please inform me. But, regarding the model itself, its a great piece of work, very enjoyable to make, comes with a beautiful color poster illustrating the paint schemes and markings. The decals are VERY detailed, BUT, no pilot, and the cockpit is so small, you wont be able to fit any extra pilots u might have sittin around inside of it. Finally, the engine construction is very intricate and interesting, although I dont know if there was an option to have the cowling open so that u can see it. Also, alot of hobby knife usage is required to make parts fit, but if u do it correctly it will come out lookin great. Pics to come!

The ta-152 went together real well a very highly detailed kit and the price reasonable too this is a good addition to the German WWII model plane collection or any WWII plane collection overall it's a nice kit .
