Revell 1/32 Heinkel He 219 A-7 (A-5/A-2 late)

[Lucky13]

Was first thinking about this one, Heinkel He 219A2 Uhu fighter,WNr 290013, May 1944....

Then I saw that they (Revell) supplied decals for a W.Nr. 310213, equipped with Naxos radar, not many had that if I've understood it right...

Very nice!

That's detail.

There is evidence of several, if not many, He219's fitted with Naxos gear, including the below captured machine as seen at Tangmere. Source "War Prizes, The Album" by P.Butler [Midland, 2006] as found over at LEMB.

Your 310213 was an A-5 and was lost on Feb 14, 1945.

Note the different radar arrangement on that one though.

 

[Lucky13]

Aye, they're vertical...

Also, even though the decals came as separate dials for the panels, I'm tempted to add this one..

probably grab that myself Jan, when i'm ready to do mine...

Wayne, you gotta do the squiggles like on 290123.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Now that would be sweet!

No, like the one I did:

I echo the post above.

I probably should do something different rather than duplicate your fine work Andy.

This kit almost falls together itself. Its an incredible buy for the price - as long as you have room!
