Pix to come.

Cockpit well under way.

While little plastic will be modified, it's a He-219 not seen before. ;)

Guys, it could be worse, he could be showing us leg here too while he teases!

I am indeed looking forward to your take on the He-219! Japanese markings and a tailhook perhaps?

Post by: Daryl J. on February 28, 2013, 12:36:12 PM: Ok....all goofiness aside.

When I bought the kit not long after it was issued, there were no websites devoted to this kind of modeling but the intent at that time was to build it as a Vietnam era USAF night time strafing machine. That means a couple gun pods under wing and perhaps some napalm too. The cockpit will have scabbed on armor a la Skyraider and F-5A. Resin rivet heads are already in the stash along with enough Evergreen sheet styrene. No radar antennae and quite possibly no rear seat. While not a Skyraider replacement and slightly anachronistic, I've felt the He-219 along with a Ju-88G (some day) would look quite decent in Tan 30219, Green 34079, and Green 34102 over black.

Why not? ;D

On the other hand, an Uhu! Cool!

White carpeting...in a hobby build room? Bravery beyond the simple calf-show.
