This angle gives a good view of the “long” stance of the gear. No nose weight necessary!

The canopy floor is clearly evident- even the DF loop!


I broke down and tried brushing on pastels for the first time- check out those tan streaks on the wings. Easy, and the pigment really sits well on the matte finish.




Thanks for following this odyssey- it’s been a fun build, and I can highly recommend the kit. Tamiya has released it with their kettenkrad as a set- give it a try!

Now, it’s off to super-detail that Promodeller/Accurate Miniatures SBC2-4. I think I’ll make it a -4E, and better check to see if the 1.5 degree fin offset is molded in- better get the razor saw out… [8-]

Awww, it’s just so cute! [:D] [:D]

But seriously, awesome job. The Ta 183 isn’t one of my favorite Luft 46 aircraft, but then again, I don’t like ANYTHING in the “jet engine with wings attached” line. But you my friend, your work is simply commendable. I simply can’t find anything wrong with it! (And you know I’m looking, too! [}:)]) Really nice. It’s good to see a project this nice finished.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey, Lucien- you just aren’t looking hard enough! [;)] Seroiusly- praise from an accomplished and hard-working guy like you is praise indeed- cheers!

Luftwoller- thanks- and sometimes even things like crazy decals can be fun. That was the goal of this whole build- mission accomplished! The icing on the cake is that it’s currently in the big glass case at The Miltary Shop in Long Beach, CA- an honor, for sure. [#toast]
