1/72 ENHANCE Models Fw190TL Strahljager
by speedgraflex The Fw 190 Strahljäger (Jet Fighter) was a conceptual turbojet fighter and the Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau firm’s first attempt to design a jet-powered fighter. First mentioned in a report dated November 5, 1942, the Fw 190 Strahljager would have seen the BMW 801 radial engine replaced by a Focke-Wulf T.1 turbojet engine capable of producing 1,300 lb/600 kg of thrust. NEW NEW NEW DETAIL PACKAGE TO CREATE A FW190TL from the HOBBY BOSS kit! Instructions and Detail Parts: ![](https://i.postimg.cc/tJ9RZXD4/AA26-FC1-C-401-C-4894-AAAD-05338279-A48-A.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/k4Nc7cBt/8722-F690-7-F02-429-B-A5-A6-01-C73-F26315-E.jpg) Beginning to conceptualize this through my own art: ![](https://i.postimg.cc/13QNQNLL/F62-AD2-DA-283-F-4-B18-9418-8015-B0-E7-DAC9.jpg)
Paint-wise this will be the direction (duralumin with green splash of paint) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Z0tQKcmk/IMG-5752.jpg) Best "late war green reference" I have ever seen from 1990! ![](https://i.postimg.cc/XJM3yw48/IMG-5754.jpg) Here's another photo: ![](https://i.postimg.cc/cLSsFpjS/IMG-5753.jpg) I don't want to confuse anyone reading with images of a TA-152 but but I would like to simply use the coloration as this will be a factory model version of an airframe that was designed but never built. However at the end of the war, who knows what would have happened?

Unfortunately, the museum owners/curators sandblasted and painted over the original colors.

Thank you for those additional pictures of the 1:1 D-9 Bruce. That kit does indeed look like a good design. Sooooo looking forward to seeing this one come together when your Star Trek ship finishes up.

Sooooo looking forward to seeing this one come together when your Star Trek ship finishes up. Bruce, as the creator of this conversion set I am really glad to follow your build. Hope you won't have too many issues building your TL. My own model is a French post war version, a war price with a weird story. If anyone is interested, google "SNCAC NC.900PPR Tornade" Have fun with your model Bruce.

Sorry for spamming your report Bruce. I wanted to avoid it that's why I stood silently here for a while. Apologies

Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing the parts.
Bollekin, do you make this conversion kit in 1/72 scale? If so, I would like to get one whenever I get work someday and get paid.
