Ready for inspection is my Italeri 1:72 FW 189 A-1 / A-2. I have built this kit straight from the box, using Vallejo acrylics. This is a fantastic little kit, great instruction booklet, clean detailed sprues, and fantastic selection of decals. I opted for the winter distemper paint scheme, and attempted the hairspray technique to distress the paintwork. Several of my practice attempts at this went well, however on the actual build disaster struck and I had to remove all the white top coat, and start again. Second time proved lucky and I am pretty happy with the finished results. Thanks for looking.

Hi Michelle,

 

once more you are producing something original and extremely well built and painted. The cherry on top of the cake being the winter distemper: for a first attempt, it is impressive.

So congrats are due!

 

What happened with the swastika? None in the kit or never to be displayed on a model?

If it is the former, Xtradecals do a very useful decal sheet.

 

Super job!
