Focke Wulf Ta152H-1 Green 9 Flown by Ofw. Willi Reschke, Stab/JG301 Favourite Aircraft of all Time GB
User Name : Wayne Little
Category : Non Competing Judge
Entry : Focke Wulf Ta152H-1 Stab Flight of JG301 April 1945
Kit : 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Super Wing Series No.2
Accessories : Zoukei-Mura Etched Cockpit Set (In collaboration with Eduard)
ONE of my All time favourites along side the Fw190D-9 and Mitsubishi Zero….
The model will depict Green '9' W.Nr.150168, It is the only known Ta152H-1 where a tactical number and Werk Nummer can be established, and linked to a particular pilot, in this case Oberfeldwebel Willi Reschke whom reportedly claimed 2 Yak-9 fighters on the 24th April 1945, this aircraft being one of several Ta152's flown by Ofw. Reschke during the months of Feb - April 1945.
The Ta152 was put into service with III/JG301 undergoing "Operational testing", initially provided with
H-0 Pre-production series aircraft.
"Green 9" would be one of the very few recorded examples of H-1 production aircraft to become operational, flying as part of the STAB of JG301 based at Neustadt-Glewe during April 1945.
The Ta152H was the Final operational Fighter issued to JG301, although few in number, and with a very short lifespan of only a few months, they seem to have found their place in history as arguably one of the finest Piston engine fighters of WW II…..
