Dan, 30lbs is not unrealistic, specially if built up. My heavy glass fuse Fw190 weighs 23lbs with 83'' built up wing
My DhHornet weighs 36lbs but and 100'' span but 5lbs are lead on the nose. The Ta152 will not need any lead in the nose.
I think I will have both options, 2 piece foam and 3 piece balsa and ply with a alu tube.

Hi Jose!
I have buildt a Ta152C from a modified Dave Platt FW190A8 kit. But had to add weight in the nose. Because the wing was moved forward on the Ta152, the fuselage back of the wing is very long.

Have used a Laser200V and it weights 1250gr. With homemade scale-exaust I had to add 300gr of lead in the nose.
Looking forward to see your Ta152H!
