Next new build, Italeri FW 189 A-2. 🙂

Cockpit parts together. Vallejo Model Air RLM 02 and RLM 70. 🙂

Guy Rump
Cockpit sides added. Decals of controls added. Had to use a fair amount of filler to join the two side parts as fit was pretty poor. 🙂

Tail-planes together. Internals painted RLM02 🙂

Wings together 🙂

Wings added to fuselages/tail planes. Tail together. Cockpit added to fuselage. A bit of filler required. 🙂

Main parts of the plane now together. Filler has had to be used almost everywhere 🙂

Following! Nice work so far!

Gary Kitchen
Following too. Lots of filler-perhaps they should supply it with a tube 😉

Following with interest. I have been sure from the outset that it is an incarnation of MPM kit - I have a "panzer" V6 version in my stash and approach it very reluctantly from time to time... 😉

Guy Rump
Thanks Patryk, Gary & Robert 👍
@Gary, the way it's going, I think a new tube of filler may be required!!
@Robert, I agree with you, this is an incarnation of the MPM/Condor kit from 2001. 🙂

3 of the 4 canopies added (and masked) 🙂

That's a hell of a lot of canopy glass to mask off, but you've done a great job so far. Following 👍

Guy Rump
Thanks and welcome James 👍

Front canopy now masked and attached.🙂

Primer added to complete aircraft. First coat of RLM71 added to top of fuselage. 🙂
25 June 2021, 18:24
Guy Rump
RLM70 splinter camouflage added to top of fuselage. 🙂
12 July 2021, 17:10
Guy Rump
Vallejo Model Air RLM04 added to the wing tips as per the instructions. Yellow always seems difficult to apply or is it just me? 🙂

I've just had a look, wow! that is impressive Gordon 👍
3 August 2021, 17:28

Andy Ball
Great roll you're on there Guy! Nice Owl!!

Gary Kitchen
Looking great Guy. That azure blue on the tail is an unexpected pop of colour. 👍
10 August 2021, 20:58
Guy Rump
Many thanks Andy and Gary @Gary, the azure blue is on the painting guide, I admit i was surprised but now quite like it 👍
13 August 2021, 17:29
Clifford Keesler
That is looking awesome.

Undercarriage on, gloss varnish added, decals added, panel line wash (Ammo Mig). Now ready for the last bits to be added, matt varnish and removal of masks. 🙂

Looking very good so far!

Thanks Patryk, hope to finish tonight. 👍

I declare the FW 189 A-1 complete. It represents one flown from Artemovsk, Ukraine in the summer of 1942 as a member of 1/H/32. 🙂
26 August 2021, 18:15
Clifford Keesler
Very nice job.
26 August 2021, 20:53
Robert Podkoński
Really nice - makes me think about completing the assault version I have in my stash (the one that needs considerably less masking 😉 )
26 August 2021, 20:56
Andy Ball
And…over the line! Hey hey!!
And… great build of an unusual subject!
26 August 2021, 23:35
Guy Rump
Many thanks, Clifford, Robert and Andy. I greatly appreciate your kind comments. 👍

Robin (WhiteGlint)
That's a nice Uhu. I guess with this many windows it is still possible to see enough of the cockpit details. 👍
27 August 2021, 19:32
Guy Rump
Many thanks WhiteGlint. 👍 Yes, you can see a fair amount of the internals, I've been looking back at my photos which don't seem to do justice to what you can actually see with the naked eye (well, with my glasses on anyway 🙂 )

Many thanks to all of you who have made comments and for the generous likes. 👍

Gordon Sørensen
Great finish, Guy! And that blue rudder really sets it apart!
28 August 2021, 21:57
