Popular Post Redboost Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi folks, lately I'm on Luftwaffe nighfighters and this time I took on He 219; actually my third night bird in a short period. I built the original A-7 kit it as A-2 with couple of mods and added the Master radar antennas and Rescue Models wheels. The decals come from OWL for W.Nr. 290070 from 1./NJG 1, that was lost in February 1945 after shooting down a Lancaster (one of the gunner seemed to hit the Heinkel with return fire and the crew had to bail out). Airbrushed with Gunze Aqueous. Cheers Libor 83 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigglesof266 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I have the A-0 (5005). Regardless that 30 years have elapsed since its initial tool release it's still a nice kit. Your paint job. Wow! Particularly in that scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Really exceptional Libor, I do like the look of those Master aerials, something I should add to my boxing. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It's not the easiest kit to put together so to get any sort of decent finish is impressive but this is well beyond decent. Excellent work Libor, I have a half built one lying in a box somewhere. I doubt it'll ever end up looking as good as this one if I manage to finish it.

Spitfire31 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Probably the most impressive 1/72nd (!) He 219 I have ever seen. Superb, plain and simple. Kind regards, Joachim 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B I agree Duncan, this one is really not the best effort from Dragon and I had moments when I almost binned it. Would not build it again and hope for a new tool (what Platz is asking for it is just ridiculous). Anyway, good luck with your and get it finished before we have a new one from Tamiya 🙂 Cheers Libor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pig of a kit to put together, as has been said, but it's pretty much the only game in town in the scale. Fantastic build, @Redboost Libor- the undersides look like real metal, not painted plastic. Thanks for sharing your work and giving the rest of us something to shoot for. This would be good one for Airfix or Zokei Mura to do as a new-tool! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
