Hobby Boss 81701 Ta 152 C-0 (1/48) – plastic scale model kit

Hobby Boss 81701 Ta 152 C-0 (1/48) is a high-quality plastic model kit representing a rare and advanced version of the German high-altitude fighter from the final period of World War II. This kit, made in an accurate 1/48 scale, is an ideal choice for modelers interested in historical Luftwaffe military aircraft, especially those that never entered mass production but nonetheless played a significant role in the development of military aviation.

The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 C-0 aircraft is a development of the Fw 190 fighter line and was designed in 1944 by the famous engineer Kurt Tank. The C-0 model featured shorter wings compared to the H version, a Daimler-Benz DB 603 engine, and armament adapted for medium-altitude combat. Developed for intercepting Allied bombers and escort fighters, the Ta 152 C never reached its full combat potential due to the situation in Germany at the end of the war. A small number of prototypes and pre-production aircraft were used operationally by the Luftwaffe in 1945 during the final months of World War II.
