HPH FW 189 Uhu

Recommended Posts

Entering into the foray of my first full resin kit build, I decided on the 189 as its an unusual subject very rarely modelled in any scale let alone gods own 1/32. 

 

I have to say, I really enjoyed putting this together and while I did have a few issues of my own doing, generally, if the clean up is done correctly, it goes together well with few fit issues. 

The problem areas i encountered were around the following areas. 

 

Where the booms attach to the underside of the wings, a gap needs to be dealt with. 

The glazing at the rear of the fuselage  where the transition from square to round took me an age to deal with. its still not spot on but this was more likely a me issue rather than the kit itself. 

The section of upper fuselage was undersized and needed considerable shimming and re alignment to mate with the glazed areas. Again its not spot on but its good enough for government work as they say. 

 

First time with a HPH kit. The glazing was weird, being soft and maleable polypropelene (i Think) they gould be bent easily without cracking or other damage.

 

There are other mistakes I have made but for anyone who is thinking of building this kit, do it, just ensure you take your time and dry fit multiple times before committing to glue. Anyhow, on with the show. 

 

Based VERY VERY loosely on this colour scheme,
