Hello, I am new to this forum - mostly just because I am a third grade teacher with no free time!

I wondered if anyone knows about resin aftermarket conversions or detail kits that may be used to mod various iterations of 1/48 and 1/32 Dora FW's to TA 152 H or C configuration.

Specifically; wings, Jumo 213 swap, etc etc....

yes; I am a complete babe-in-the-woods to the "new" era of mil aircraft models. Getting back into it after many years!

the base model I'm thinking of would be Hasegawa's D-9 in 1/32 and Tamiya's D-9 in 1/48.

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi Adam

1/48: no conversion. There is a pretty good Ta 152H kit from Trimaster, which was re-issued under different labels. the Italeri rebox does not have the engine included. For this kit there are some conversions to the Ta 152 C (e.g. Fusion Models) and Dragon just issued a C themselves

1/32:there is a kit/conversion from Rutman Productions http://www.jrutman.com/catalogue/32full.html

HTH

cheers

Thanks, Steffen!

I searched for the Dragon kit in 1/48th...thanks! Also, looked at the Rutman stuff.

Very cool! It has been a LONG time since I've modeled aircraft - better late than never!

A 1/32 Hasegawa 190D-9 will be my first in years - I bought this kit about '01-'02...

Pacific Coast models recently released a 1:32 scale kit of the TA-152 H.
