Heinkel He 219 Uhu Ideas and Inspiration
GTX_Admin:
Hi folks, a thread dedicated to your Heinkel He 219 Uhu Ideas and Inspiration.
GTX_Admin:
First up, what about a Tank Buster Heinkel He 219? Maybe fitted with the semi-automatic Rheinmetall PAK 40 75 mm anti-tank gun, from the Junkers Ju 88P-1 or maybe a larger version of the downward firing SG-113 weapon as trialled on a HS129:
GTX_Admin:
Torpedo carrying variants I sketched up as licence built Savoia-Marchetti S.M.96 Uraganos for A Simple Issue of Metals:
These were specially modified for use in the anti-shipping role. In doing so, the night fighter equipment (radar, belly cannon pack, Schräge Musik installation etc) were removed. The wing root cannon were retained and the FuG 200 Hohentwiel sea-search radar set was fitted (shown in nose radome in lower one). Perhaps the most noticeable external change though was the fitting of a remote-controlled tail gun to provide a degree of self protection. Apart from the cannon, the typical armament was 1 – 2 torpedoes (or later the L.11 "Schneewittchen" winged torpedo and/or the “Zitteroschen” supersonic anti-shipping missile) as well as up to 24 R4/M HL Panzerblitz 2 rockets under the outer wings.
Volkodav:
I'd completely forgotten about the Uhu although I did have the old Revell kit years ago. Cool idea on the torpedo bomber.
upnorth:
I'd be inclined to convert that big belly bulge into a bomb bay.
Perhaps convert it to a single seat interceptor: keep the four guns in the fuselage bulge, or replace them with two larger calibre guns, and strip out the back cockpit and use it to house the gun breeches and ammo feeds of four guns added to the sides of the fuselage.
That fuselage bulge is big enough for a Pak 38 50mm gun instalation, not unlike the 57mm Molins gun put into some Mosquitoes.
You could strip it of weapons completely, load the fuselage bulge with cameras and have a high altitude reccon machine.
