Dragon Models Plastic Model Kit
Focke-Wulf Ta152H (1/48)
This 1/48 scale aircraft kit from Dragon Models represents the Focke-Wulf Ta152H, a high-altitude interceptor developed during the final stages of the Second World War. Designed as an evolution of the earlier Fw 190, the Ta152H featured an extended wingspan and refined aerodynamics to improve performance at altitude. As part of the 1/48 aircraft range, it offers a detailed subject suited to both display and historical modelling.
The model captures the distinctive long-wing configuration of the Ta152H, along with the streamlined fuselage and tail surfaces that set it apart from earlier designs. The kit provides a solid base for a detailed build, allowing modellers to focus on painting and finishing techniques to bring out the aircraft’s late-war appearance. Its scale makes it suitable for display alongside other WWII aircraft, while still allowing enough detail to create a convincing replica.
This aircraft is particularly notable for its role as a specialised interceptor, intended to engage high-flying enemy bombers. The design reflects the changing priorities of the German air force during the later stages of the war, where altitude performance and speed were increasingly important. As a model, it provides an interesting contrast to more common fighter aircraft from the same period.

The Focke-Wulf Ta152H was introduced in the final months of WWII as part of Germany’s effort to counter high-altitude Allied bombers. Equipped with a powerful engine and long wings optimised for high-altitude flight, it was capable of operating at heights where many earlier fighters struggled. Although it entered service too late and in limited numbers to have a significant impact on the war, it remains one of the most advanced piston-engine fighters developed during the conflict. This model reflects that advanced design, offering a representation of a late-war interceptor built for specialised combat conditions.
