Ta 152 C-11 Model Brief

The Hobby Boss 81704 - 1/48 Scale Ta 152 C-11 recreates a refined late-war fighter with careful surface definition and scale-correct shapes. The kit layout and parts count are arranged to support a tidy build for those used to finer detail work.

Historical Context for Modellers

The Ta 152 programme pushed Luftwaffe fighters toward superior high-altitude handling and cleaner aerodynamics. The C-11 variant featured a beefed-up engine and reinforced armament, offering a compelling subject for historical modelling and research-focused builds.

Assembly Notes and Display Ideas

Moulded detail includes defined panel lines and a cockpit that supports realistic finishing. Once painted and weathered, the completed model suits display on its own or as part of a late-war collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48 scale
  • Material: High quality injection plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, optional for realism
The cockpit has several small components and raised detail that reward careful painting and drybrushing for a convincing instrument panel and seat finish.
Aftermarket items like photo-etched seatbelts, resin cockpit sets or finer decals can enhance realism, but many builders are satisfied with the out-of-box detail.
Yes, paints are needed to complete the model; the kit arrives unpainted so you can choose authentic finishes or custom schemes.
A simple plinth or a small diorama showing an airfield apron suits the 1/48 scale and highlights the aircrafts lines without overpowering the model.
