HL-10 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello! This is Revell's re-issue of their Heinkel HE219, with new parts to make it as the earlier A-0. Built virtually out of the box, except for some Eduard etched seat belts. I used Xtracolor enamels for the camouflage. Straight forward kit, no real pitfalls, but it needs a lot of nose weight to keep it off it's tail! Thanks for looking, Angelo 63 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Wow! Very impressive, particularly the antenna and camo pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 That's a real stunner with a particularly impressive paint job. Is this the 1/32 kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adey m Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Angelo, that is the Best He219 model I have seen with one of the most convincing cockpits I have seen too. Fantastic. adey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Impressive, you have made a great job of that, and I know what you mean about nose weights I was forever adding it to mine. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a Pro Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It's gorgeous. I love the He219. 1/32, I can only imagine the size of this kit, and how awesome it is. Just bend that antenna wire a little so it can be pristine done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwitrogg Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Oh wow, that's very impressive indeed. So much detail, and your finishing looks spot-on to my eye. Well done Cheers Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Very, very impressive. It looks so real. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Superb, I admire your paint job - replicating all those tiny blotches without making a horrible mess is really an achievement. I've tried myself on such a scheme before ... and failed miserably ... Best greetings from Vienna! Roman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteo44 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Great work! Are the mottles made by freehand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinned the paint right down to a milk like consistency then turned the compressor down to 15psi, and practiced loads on card before I slowly started. It took about an hour and a bit to do the mottles. The base colour was sealed with an acrylic varnish before the mottles were added. As I used Xtracolor enamels, if there were any "OOPS" moments, it could be cleaned with a cotton bud and thinners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
