Hi Kamil,

This model looks very familiar to me...

You have made an excellent job on the GWH kit. It seems you have built it from the box, right?

I haven't seen so many models built from a new kit since I've returned to the hobby. It seems as if the Fw189 was high on the list of many modelers!

Thanks Jean-Luc
Yes, this kit was built out of the box without any modification (except some mask; it was necessary to replace them with self made with tamiya masking ape). and flares and gas-mask cans inside the cockpit

It is very good kit, all parts fits good, but there are some ejector marks placed in visible places (for example in main gear gondolas)

some pics fro pre-paintwork step:

That's a great build, Kamil. One of the most convincingly realistic worn winter camo finishes I've ever seen. What technique did you use, hairspray perhaps?

Very nice!!!
I just finished one a couple weeks ago too. Customer didn't want a whitewash, but I've got another one of these in the stash for myself. Seeing these in a beat up whitewash really makes me wanna try it out! Very inspiring!

Well done, indeed!
The hiarspray method really makes great white-wash camo. Im very impressed!
