Bob' s Tamiya He 219 night fighter

[BattleshipBob]

Evening Al, sorry Sir!!

This my meagre effort (yet to be ruined)

The world beating beautiful He 219 from Tamiya in 1/48, thankful that not enough of these were built

Will spend hours reading and reading the plans until I get to the dreaded fuselage seam when I will be begging for help



some bit and bobs, not so sure about using the resin wheel wells though?? Never worked with resin





thanks for looking, off to sit in the fridge, far to hot for me














:smiling6:

oooo looking forward to this Bob. The He219 was a class leading, purpose built nightfighting aircraft.

Hi Bob,
Been looking forward to watching the night fighter GB. I have every faith in you sir:smiling4:

And if you going to climb into the fridge, please don’t sit in the cheesecake again:flushed:

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks Al, read the flight test report from the wonderful Eric 'Winkle' Brown, he thought it had a superb cockpit, heavy armament but was underpowered but would be a very nasty surprise for the RAF in the night skies over Germany

[BattleshipBob]

Cheese cake Si, after meeting with the heart chap that's off the menu along with lots of things, bugger!! But have lost 8 lbs in weight


:tongue-out3:

Never seen one of these put together so looking forward to this Bob

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks Mick. Plan to ruin, sorry use the pe cockpit bits in the morning.

Got the 1/32 revell 219's but thats for the distance future lol

[Allen Dewire]

You'll be alright Bob! Just remember to test fit the etch 4-5 times and only glue once. Take your time and you will have it under control with no headaches. I love this plane………..

Prost
Allen

[BattleshipBob]

[BattleshipBob]

Oh yes Ralph, if it goes pear shaped i can always retreat back to the twi light world of the Stug nerd:tongue-out3:

[AlanG]

Never doubt your skills Bob. We've seen your builds remember. You'll do a grand job mate

[BattleshipBob]
