Great Wall Hobby’s 1/48 scale Fw 189A-2 (No. L4803) consists of 178 pieces of light gray and clear plastic with a small photo-etch fret and a decal sheet that provides two marking options. The parts are well molded and show remarkable detail.

The April 2018 issue featured Ricardo’s showstopping Focke-Wulf Fw 189. There, he showed us how he painted, whitewashed, and weathered the light bomber with many layers of paint.

Now, here’s the beginning of the story — see how he built and detailed the 1/48 scale Great Wall Hobby kit.
