HISTORY ASPECTS:The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H-1 was a German high-altitude fighter aircraft developed during World War II. It was based on the earlier Focke-Wulf Fw 190 but with a longer and taller fuselage and more powerful engines. The Ta 152H-1 was intended to be used as a long-range interceptor and was used primarily on the Eastern Front.The pilot of this specific Ta 152H-1 model is Oberfelwebel (Senior Sergeant) Josef Keil who served in the Geschwaderstab (Headquarters Squadron) of JG 301 (Jagdgeschwader 301) in Alteno Germany in April 1945. JG 301 was a Luftwaffe fighter wing that was active during the last months of the war.The Ta 152H-1 first saw action in 1944 and was considered to be one of the most advanced fighters of its time. However due to a combination of factors such as a lack of fuel and trained pilots as well as Allied bombing of production facilities only a small number of Ta 152s were built and saw combat.This 1:72 scale model aircraft by Oxford Diecast is a detailed replica of the Ta 152H-1 flown by Oberfelwe
