  • Amtech's, 1/48 Scale, Ta-183 “Huckebein”
    AMtech’s, 1/48 scale, Ta-183 “Huckebein” By Bryant Dunbar The first time I saw AMtech’s 1/48 scale Ta-183 “Huckebein” kit was at the 2001 IPMS Butch O’Hare show. Scott Van Aken had a built up test shot on display. It only took a moment for me to decide I wanted one, NOW! Scott explained it was a test shot but kits would be available in the near future. The Ta-183 would have been an incredible performer and no doubt would have superseded the Messerschmidt Me 262’s capabilities had it been built and flown. In late 1942, Focke-Wulf’s founder, Kurt Tank and engineer Hans Multhopp, began studies to create the Ta-183. Their work culminated in a design that that was to have a prototype ready for its maiden flight in May or June 1945. Plans were for another fifteen test aircraft to follow. Two tail designs were considered for the aircraft. Both were to be built and compared. One tail was a more conventional, low version mounted along the fuselage. The other was the radical “T” design that we are most familiar. The first production aircraft was scheduled for completion in October of 1945. However, British forces captured Focke-Wulf’s facilities on April 8 and no examples were ever built. The Soviets found complete plans for the Ta-183 in Berlin and it’s believed they may have built as many as six test aircraft. Most are of the opinion the MiG-15 is a direct descendant of the Ta-183.

Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt A8 Bf 109, the Fw190 became the backbone of the Luftwaffe's Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force). The twin-row BMW 801 radial - engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and, to a lesser degree, night fighter. FW190 ANTON The Fw190A series' performance decreased at high altitudes (usually 6,000 m (20,000 ft) and above), which reduced its effectiveness as a high-altitude interceptor. From the Fw190's inception, there had been ongoing efforts to address this with a turbosupercharged BMW 801 in the B model, the much longer-nosed C model with efforts to also turbocharge its chosen Daimler-Benz DB 603 inverted V12 powerplant, and the similarly long-nosed D model with the Junkers Jumo 213. Problems with the turbocharger installations on the -B and -C subtypes meant only the D model would see service, entering service in September 1944.

  • Aces of the Luftwaffe
    Aces of the Luftwaffe Below are profiles of some of the Luftwaffe’s greatest pilots. Germany had the top 108 scoring aces of the Second World War, with scores ranging from 352 to 99 kills (for the top 108). The term ace can mean different things for different countries. Wikipedia puts it as this: “In World War II, many air forces credited fractional shares of aerial victories, resulting in fractions or decimal scores, such as 11½ or 26.83. Some U.S. commands also credited aircraft destroyed on the ground as equal to aerial victories. The Soviets distinguished between solo and group kills, as did the Japanese, though the IJN stopped crediting individual victories in 1943. The Luftwaffe continued the tradition of "one pilot, one kill", and now referred to top scorers as experten.” So German pilots got a kill for every aircraft they shot down. Name: Erich Hartmann Life: April 19, 1922 – September 20, 1993 Kills: 352 Notes: Erich Hartmann is the top scoring ace of all time, of any country. His 352 kills are 51 more than that of his closest rival, Gerhard Barkhorn. 345 of his kills were against the Soviets, as he fought mainly on the Ostfront (Eastern Front), and 260 of these were fighters. He also won the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwerten und Brillianten (Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds), the second highest award in the German forces. He was imprisoned by the Soviets for 10 and a half years, and once released, went to West Germany and was put in charge of the post war JG 71 “Richtofen”, and retired in 1970.

  • Focke Wulf 152 H 114 Inches (2.89M) Plan (Other 42” Wing Span Plan Included)
    Focke Wulf 152 H 114 Inches (2.89m) Plan (Other 42” Wing Span Plan Included) The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 was a World War II German high-altitude fighter-interceptor designed by Kurt Tank and produced by Focke-Wulf. The Ta 152 was a development of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft. It was intended to be made in at least three versions—the Ta 152H Höhenjäger ("high-altitude fighter"), the Ta 152C designed for medium-altitude operations and ground-attack using a different engine and smaller wing, and the Ta 152E fighter-reconnaissance aircraft with the engine of the H model and the wing of the C model. Focke Wulf 152 H 114 Inches (2.89m) Plan (Other 42” Wing Span Plan Included) The first Ta 152H entered service with the Luftwaffe in January 1945. While total production—including prototypes and pre-production aircraft—has been incorrectly estimated in one source at approximately 220 units,[2] only some 43 production aircraft were ever delivered before the end of the European conflict.[1] These were too few to allow the Ta 152 to make a significant impact on the air war. Design and development Due to the difficulties German interceptors were having when battling American heavy bombers at altitudes above 20,000 feet, and in light of rumors of new B-29 bombers with better altitude capabilities, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (German Air Ministry, or "RLM") requested proposals from both Focke-Wulf and Messerschmitt for a high-altitude interceptor. Messerschmitt answered with the Bf 109H, and Focke-Wulf with the Fw 190 Raffat-1, or Ra-1 (fighter), Ra-2 (high altitude fighter) and Ra-3 (ground-attack aircraft).

From almost literally nothing, they have pro- gressed in that time to the production in quantity of one of the world's fastest strike fighters and to the design of modern aircraft of their own. By 1945 most of the factories had been destroyed by air and ground attacks and what had not been destroyed was then system- atically dismantled and taken away. Skilled personnel were dis- persed, either being taken to other countries or driven by necessity into other industries. Then came an interval of ten years' enforced idleness during which no aircraft development was allowed. The workers who remained in Germany were perforce absorbed into other work, so that while aircraft technology and design were moving ahead faster than ever in other countries, German knowledge and skill lay virtually dormant. When sovereignty, and with it permission to make aircraft, were granted again in 1955, the companies had to start from scratch, the only ready-made resources being the former skill and knowledge they could attract back to aircraft-making from abroad and from other industries.
