would that be a sub model of the basic plane ?

also seeing some of the British Test reports, that were done on it, and most of them were haveing trouble hitting 400 with the planes they had (but I think most of these may have to be taken with a grain of salt, as I believe they say one blew a engine and the other engine also ended up with some troubles)
well to the luftwaffe aces and such it was well" the best plane by kurt tank.built. yet why didnt the aces use it more like Rall. BAR /ETC.JG 52 sqn J Weies was persmistical.when he was to fly it in action.didnt he get killed by spits. flying it.
to me my name sake it was a fine plane nice lines and such i liked the ta 152 the best.
