1/144 Fw-189 'Uhu' Kits from Peters Planes

1/144 Fw-189 'Uhu' Kits from Peters Planes
The instantly recognisable form of the Fw-189 Uhu is another great design from the drawing board of Kurt tank. Peters plane has continued the trend of producing multiple versions to appeal to both the modelling and gaming buyer, by means of providing "complex" and "simple" options. Overall a nice little kit, although it would only be fair to note that the full vac-form canopy option will take a little planning and forethought in order to successfully marry the pieces.
