Hobby Boss 1/48 Ta 152 C-0: A Scale Tribute to a High Altitude Fighter

The Hobby Boss 1/48 Ta 152 C-0 presents a compact but detailed representation of the late-war German high-altitude fighter. The kit emphasises correct external form and includes parts that allow builders to reproduce the aircrafts distinctive silhouette.

Historical Context and Model Accuracy

Designed to operate at altitude as an interceptor, the Ta 152 C-0 combined long wings with performance-oriented design. This model reproduces those key characteristics and provides accurate panel lines and surface detail for authentic finishing.

Finishing Potential and Collector Appeal

The kit features a detailed cockpit and optional parts to personalise the build, enabling either a straightforward assembly or a more ambitious, museum-style finish. It sits well on display as a representative example of WWII high-altitude fighters.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic material
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for realistic finish
  • Part Count: Comprehensive detailing
Assembly time varies with skill level, but expect several evenings for a neat standard build and longer if adding extra weathering or detailing.
The cockpit is well detailed, but many modellers add thin paint layers, seat harnesses and instrument decals to raise the realism of the finished interior.
Yes, as a 1/48 scale fighter the completed model is compact and fits standard display cases, though those with internal diorama bases may need slightly larger footprints.
