Hello everybody,
Here I will show you my newest rollout about the Ta 154 from Dragon in 1:48.
I build it up in the colors of a typical Nightfighter in RLM 76 with RLM 75 mottles.
I upgrated the cockpit with CMK and Eduard parts.
I hope you will have fun with the following pics

Hi Oliver,

That's a fine looking build, congratulations. The cockpit detail is excellent and the parachute pack on the wing is a nice touch, is it a resin piece or part of the kit?

Hi Oliver!

Super model and super photos! Do you know if the Dragon model is similar to the Revell kit or are they different toolings?

Very nice!

I'm curious to know how much weight you needed to keep that nose down? And i assume that it needed weight in the engine nacelles too?

Just wanted to add my praise to your Mosquito. It is a beautiful model. Enjoyed very much looking at it, would like to build one in 72 scale. I am working on the RAF original Mosquito right now. Take care. Russell

Hallo Erlawerke,

Your model looks fantastic! One thing, how'd they plop that heavy parachute up there on that high nacelle?
