If you really want to go to town on this one Jan, I can supply you with some very good cockpit coloured detail sketches from a very old issue of SAMI (Scale Aviation Modeller Int). Been hanging onto them for when I do my Tamiya kit. PM me your email if interested.
By the way, Tamiya camo id semi gloss black underside with light blue (RLM 76) upper side base coat with grey-violet (RLM 75) blotches.

Looks very cool Jan.
Is that shot of the wing from the one at the Smithsonian? Did not know they had the wing for it.

Show me some progress man....
The camo layout of the model looks like the one for the He-219A of the 4.NJG1 (G9+DH) WNr-290004 than for the W.Nr.310213.

This post, amongst many others is so damned information packed I am falling behind on everything else I am supposed to be doing.
A pox on all of your houses!

Great references and examples of the camo scheme. Will be interesting to compare this one to the Ju-88... looking forward to it!

If my #310213 was an A-5, shouldn't it be a three seater then?
According to Wiki, which we all love....and hate;
He 219 A-5
Planned three-seat night fighter, only some prototypes known to have been built from A-2 airframes
Edit: This would have been the 219A-5/R4!

Jan, much work has been done in recent years to clear up incorrect published information on the He219. 5 years ago, when I put my Tamiya Uhu together, I had done a fair amount of reading to support my subject and could have probably answered your question with confidence. Now......not so much.
If you want the latest and greatest reference on the He219, get yourself a copy of this work: The Heinkel He 219 – A Research Paper | Wing Leader

If that book is anything like their other publications (and I'm sure it is), then it'll be well worth getting.
The authors and illustrators really know their stuff, and have carried out very extensive research for those books I have from them, in the LCA series, the new BoB Combat Archive series, and a few others I have on specific aircraft and units.

There was a long thread on this a couple of years ago by the author, Ron Ferguson, as he was compiling his info but I can't seem to find it there now.
