Beautiful! Did you hand paint the camo?

Airfix did a good job by capturing the Würgers shape. Then you did your magic with the kit and - tadaaa - a lovely 190 in one of those winter camos I like so much.

But, and this goes to Airfix, the fin antenna looks a bit blunt.
Cheers,

Thanks guys!

The camo is all airbrushed.
In Airfix's defense, I snipped the tip of the tail mast, to give a glueing surface for the antenna wire. (snipped a bit more than was needed...oops!)

Then, even more amazing. I checked with the panel, no demerits for the antenna...
