I don't believe the Mk 21 ever served in the Med. They were built in Australia and as far as I recall, all served in the SW Pacific or Burma. And the roundels wouldn't have the red dots. Bill

AW1Steve -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 3:24:33 PM)
Obviously a TA-152.....If you want more than that , and of course you do, I'll need to do some research.

adarbrauner -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 3:30:19 PM)
Does the Ta 152 has such "short" wings? Should't it be the D-9 version instead? [X(]

AW1Steve -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 3:31:34 PM)
It appears to be a TA-152 H-1 model.

adarbrauner -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 6:22:47 PM)
As said, the fw 190 D-9. Because of the wings lenght...

Lecivius -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 6:29:25 PM)
I'm interested, because I was thinking a FW-190 D9 as well. But Steve has SO many resources at his disposal...

quote: ORIGINAL: Lecivius I'm interested, because I was thinking a FW-190 D9 as well. But Steve has SO many resources at his disposal... Not on this subject. A nearly complete set of Jane's fighting SHIP's won't do much for this. As I said earlier in this thread, I'm not strong on German ww2 aircraft (or for that matter Japanese or Italian). I can ID the type , but when you get as specific as CB is asking, we'll then...as one of my old Navy instructors use to say "well boys , this is where we separate the fly **** from the pepper". Even the inventory of the USS Lexington's model collection doesn't go that specific. They list it as a "TA-152". [:(]

adarbrauner -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 8:15:07 PM)
The Ta 152 was a high altitude fighter, with characteristic long and relatively thin wings. This in the picture doesn't show having such. Check pics!

JeffroK -> RE: OT: Name that plane / ship (6/27/2017 8:31:14 PM)
Ta-152B

quote: ORIGINAL: adarbrauner As said, the fw 190 D-9. Because of the wings lenght... Correct FW 190 D9. Here's a little side by side comparison for ease of purpose. Note the cockpit placement further back on the wing relative on the TA-152. The TA-152's wingspan is about a meter longer with more squared tips too.

[image]local://upfiles/6968/5201EC7D8B79463E9E39CC85E94A2AF4.jpg[/image] Even easier telltale: look at the supercharger intake: Daimler-Benz DB 600 series (Ta152B and C) had intake on port side of fuselage; Junkers Jumo 213 series (Fw-190D-9 and Ta152H) had intake on starboard side of fuselage. Of course, the Ta-152H had extremely long wingspan.
