German Air Force
The Homeland Defense's last weapon!
May 1942. In order to intercept the strategic bombers coming from the enemy, the German Air Ministry required for the near future a ‘‘special high-altitude fighter‘‘ which specifications should be a pressurized cockpit and the capability to fly over 13,000m.
As a response to this request, the Focke-Wulf Company developed as an improved model of the already fighting masterpiece Fw 190 the ultimate jet-fighter, proud to fly over 10,000m at a high speed of 750km/h, and equipped with a liquid-cooled engine back and forth, a long fuselage and long, as wide, wings. The first prototype came out in August 1943. During the last days of the Great War, the ‘‘Ta 152‘‘, ultimate reciprocating jet fighter demanded for the Homeland Defense, was finally born.
The production of reciprocating fighters was stopped as war conditions continue going bad to worse, as well as the fuel reserves. Anyway the sole production allowed was the Ta 152 equipped with the Jumo 213 E that used B4 fuel since it was relatively easier to produce. It shows how the last hope of those days was entrusted with this machine. And here born the ‘H-0‘, the first mass production type with its fuel tank installed on the fuselage only instead on its wings. At first, the plane went without both, the GM1and MW50 output enchancer equipments. Its main feature is the big differences with the ‘‘H-1‘‘, like the internal structure as well as the position of the oil inlet and the inspection port. That differences have been reproduced in details with our SWS kit thanks to an intensive investigation of the documents about the real machine. Please enjoy the latest evolution process of the Fw series with this kit!‘
