Focke Wulf Ta 152 H-1

The Ta 152 is a high-altitude high-performance interceptor designed from a Fw-190 by Nazi Germany. Only 43 of these birds were built during the second World War and there's only a single one left, which is a H-0 model.


With variants ranging from the C-0 pre-production to the most produced H-1 variant, the Ta 152 was succesful, but it was mainly used in roles less favourable, like ground strike and cloase air support.

During it's service life, the wings grew up to a wingspan of about 45 feet and it gained a new weaponry suite:

1.) MK108 30mm Autocannon in the prop hub
2.) MG151/20 20mm Autocannons in the wing roots


It only saw official service with the German Luftwaffe, but it was captured by a multitude of foreign countries, secretly given to Axis allies and was a planned aircraft for the DMK's Graf Zepellin Aircraft Carrier

Just like ProcessedPlAnEs' 190. Give him credit, he made most of the work!
