Flight of the Owl (1/48 Heinkel He219)

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

Hi guys ,this is what has been keeping me busy over the past month.
Tamiya’s classic Heinkel He 219 Uhu in 1/48 scale.
One of the most effective nightfighters of the Luftwaffe and one of the first operational aircraft equiped with ejector seats.
I loved this scheme the best and opted to have a soft edge to the black paint as seen in a few wartime pics of this aircraft.However I do not know if this is accurate for this particular aircraft.

Its built OOB except for a few photoetch aerials and antennas from Lion Roar .
And brass wire for the pitot.
Thanks for lookin[:)]

Ps:the last pic is Night Fighter meets Night Bomber[;)]

just how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Lancster? 1? 2? oops… [:D]
Looks great. But thats what we’ve come to expect from you so…

WONDERFULL!!

Very beautiful and clean paint job. Did you kinda’ cheat with a soft line of RLM76 between the black and over the mottled spots? Looks like it [;)] Was it a common practice by the luftwaffe Mechanics/Painters? Did you came to these conclusion from a photograph?

That’s really nice! What an amazing example of the growth of technology during the war- I’m reminded of Churchill’s " new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science"…

Beautiful job Obiwan! Your powers of the Force serve you well!

Excellent build. Very nice AB work on the mottle camo.

Nice work. I have one in my stash, and I hope it comes out as well as yours. It’s refreshing to see planes with their pilots in… not de rigueur, but nice to see. Gives the planes some scale. [;)]
