DRA5501 - Dragon 1/48 TA152H1 Focke-Wulf - WWWEB10114512

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H was the first true high-altitude fighter of the Luftwaffe, a thoroughly redesigned development of the Fw 190 carrying designer Kurt Tank's initials. A long, high-aspect-ratio wing and a Jumo 213E engine with MW 50 boost gave it exceptional performance at altitude, where it could reach roughly 760 km/h. Deliveries began in December 1944, but only about 60 were built before the war ended, some serving with JG 301 to protect Me 262 jets during their vulnerable take-off and landing. This is Dragon's Master Series kit, based on the highly regarded Trimaster tooling.
