Bob' s Tamiya He 219 night fighter

[BattleshipBob]

Right chaps, here's the sprue shots, is this the right place??

Not many sprues to show, the genius of Tamiya, to prevent it sitting on its tail, a metal tub for the cockpit, clever chaps!!











Was planning to make a start but had another fatigue issue this morning, feels like my batteries gone flat so that put paid to that idea. Sorry

Very clean mouldings, usual Tamiya quality plans as well

Don't apologise Bob. Health is far more important than this GB. You take it easy and go at the speed you feel you can do mate.

Bob,
I'm looking forward to this mate. it is a beautiful looking aircraft.

[Allen Dewire]

I'm with Al here Bob, Health is to be taken care of first. We aren't going anywhere soon, so start when you are felling better. I think mud would work, but only on the landing gear………….

Prost und Güte Besserung StuGMeister

Hi Al and many thanks, this normally takes 48 hrs to calm down, right pain. Waiting for a detailed heart scan to have a good look at the arteries. So hopefuly will make a start Thursday in between the armour!

Evening Scottie, spent ages on YT, but not a lot about this one, all Revell. All the reviews praise its ease of build, we will see lol!

Hi Allen and many thanks (google translate to the rescue!)

Having a very good look at retiring a bit early at Christmas, no idea when i will be back at work.

Thanks all

Bob

Hi Bob,
Sorry to read your feeling a off. Get yer feet up and take it easy mate and don’t get yourself all excited about StuG’s for a bit:tongue-out2:

Take care
Si

[BattleshipBob]

Too late Si, new Stug book on the way. Watched Stug stuff on YT, some terrible but also some good, had to fan myself to stop getting over heated lol

[Gern]

Call me a worrier, but I'm building the Revell 1/32 version - and it needs LOTS and LOTS of weight to stop it tail sitting. I know Tamiya provide a metal tub for the cockpit but I'd be inclined to check it's enough.

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Gern, got three of them, mad i know but hope/plan to do three varients. Are you posting the build, very interested to see!!

All the reviews i have read say its fine but yes good idea to check as it progresses!

[BattleshipBob]

Al Si, tell you what, one such Stug video showed a bloody F8 on the invasion of France, France my bum. Who does this cr#p!

Got all hot under the collar lol

[Allen Dewire]

Lawdy Bob,

I know the feeling all too well. It's like seeing a soldier with a Panzerfaust on his shoulder in France, in 1940.....About 4 years too early I would say, according to history…………...

[BattleshipBob]

No excuses, there must be miles of footage.

[Lee Drennen]

Bob I’m drooling over all that aftermarket goodies very nice looking Choice of aircraft

Here you go Bob. Long time since we've posted and some progress made. I'm still head down in the manual for my camera but I'll try and get some pics soon.
