This is my Heinkel He219A-5R1 G9+RL built 03July1981 and finished in a fictitious colour scheme (that makes it a sorta-WHIFF) due at the time to a complete lack of reference material (and a freind's request). The box-top pic threw me too. The kit H-160 was issued from 1973 (the molds from themselves from the mid-60s) and was difficult to build as the fuselage is split horizontally not the usual vertical split therefore making cleaning up the join a long frustrating business.
I added as much scratch-built detail as I could, a gun sight for the pilot, a properly rendered FuG202 Lichtenstein C-1 matress antenna between the four FuG220 SN-2 antenna on the nose plus a scratch-built FuG220 tail warning aerial, two "Schräge Musik" cannon barrels on the aircraft's spine plus added cannon barrels in the wing roots and belly tray. The codes are a modified mix of the kits' and paint with the "blooded panther" on both sides of the nose a modified item from a Heller kit with a hand painted "kill tally" on the rudders. The model was weathered (way too much). Heavily damaged in 1990 the upper main landing gear was remade using plastic rod & card, brass rod & tube along with the kit's lower parts.

Great scheme! The blood-trail dripping from the puma's fangs was a nice touch :)

Alternate markings = WhIf, Brother! ;)
Wasn't this idiot who requested the alternate markings, was it? ???
I ask merely because I can't remember (I blame Alzheimer's!) & it sounds like something I'd do. ;D
