Scale modelling

Finished, my Focke-Wulf Fw-189 Uhu, a 1/72 scale Italeri kit. This one was in the WW2 Winter War, and was painted with a whitewash in the winter. The whitewash would wear off or be rubbed off where needed.

I also made a base for it, with snowdrifts and snow on bushes, using snow powder and wood glue.

I built the kit with normal green camouflage with lacquer Mr Color paints, and then applied an acrylic Army Painter over it, and then weathered and rubbed it away with water where needed. That stuff is awful to airbrush with.

Anyway, I learnt a lot through the process, and picked up new techniques. Definitely need to work on my canopy masking though.IMG_20250329_103440.jpgIMG_20250329_103544.jpgIMG_20250329_103557.jpgIMG_20250329_103604.jpgIMG_20250329_103636.jpgIMG_20250329_103724.jpgIMG_20250329_103753.jpg

Another model finished: the PM Model Yak-15. Yakovlev took a Yak-3, and replaced the piston engine with a jet engine. Weird looking, for a jet. The kit was not great at all, and I rescribed all the panel lines, and added some cockpit detail. Looks good in red though!

I finished the Airfix 1/48 Sea Harrier FA2 model kit. An interesting kit, a bit of a mix between old and new Airfix kits, with raised panel lines on wings and recessed on fuselage. A good build though, and I thought it came out well. Like the bumblebee, you wonder how it flew!

The 163 is such a cool plane.

I was around 7 years old when my father loaded a DOS game for me where I could fly one on PC.

I remember landing it, but it would never be able to take off again.

/s I wondered why....

Also the game where I learned, Fook the Geneva Convention.

* Might be above

You would shoot down an enemy plane, then a small blob white would be on screen with pixels under it.
Challenge was then to shoot the white blob.
