greif8 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, the following is a Tamiya He219 that I recently completed. I used the Aires cockpit, CMK DB603 engine, ICM figures and some Verlinden diorama accessories to detail the aircraft and make the diorama. Critiques are welcome! Cheers, Ernest Edited February 14, 2011 by greif8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I like it. Really nice paintwork on the 219 and the figures look great! Did the engine kit come with the 'supports' to show how to mount it? Or did you have to scratch build? Either way, great job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Man Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Most excellent. Wonderful craftsmanship sir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greif8 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi IrishGreek, the engine kit had supports included and the kit instructions showed how to mount them. As with alot of aftermarket kits I had to do a bit of sanding and scraping to get a good fit though. Thank you for the kind words also. Ernest I like it.

Aggressor Supporter Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 This has to be one of the best dioramas I have seen here! I like everything about it and big Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pinguis Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Top notch work! But there is something about the figures, that pushes the envelope form just another good diorama, into something else I cant quite classify! Well Done!

CivicSiKL Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks great! How did you create the smaller FuG 212? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greif8 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi, I used a 1/35 MG34 barrel as the center post and attached four pieces of evergreen square strip at right angles for the supports. The antennas were sourced from left overs from a 1/72 scale kit of an Fw200. Overall, the scratchbuild gets the job done at replicating the FuG 212, but I am sure a purpose made aftermarket antenna would look better. Ernest Looks great! How did you create the smaller FuG 212?
