Here is the Revell 1/72 He-219 “uhu” (Owl). I figured I’d call this one the “spotted owl” ;D.
-EDIT- New pics below…
It was built OOB and was a “redo” of an older build. This was a very simple/ basic kit with few details. The wings and fuselage had a fair level of rivet detail.
I searched and searched through my spares but I could not find another decent set of decals, so I went with what was in the box, hence the yellowing.
Overall I think it turned out ok, but it is a bit plain looking :-?
[#ditto] on the weathering idea. It would really help dress it up and might help to tone down the yellowed decal film. Otherwise a really nice build of a great aircraft. I have one of these buried in the stasth somewhere and I think you just gave me the motivation to move it up the to do list by a couple of notches! Thanks for the look.
Thanks for looking everyone. I think I will go back and do some weathing, I like the dry brushing idea. I dont know how well a wash would work with the raised panel lines. If the weathering turns out nicely I’ll update my pics.
I was actually attempting to replicate the plane on the box art, and I pulled it off in that respect.
The plane looks too bright for a night fighter! I originally wanted to do a plane with a black underside (Like the one at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy center), but I did not have the right decals.
