garcor Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hello, This is my Tamiya 1/48 He-219. I built this as part of a Night fighters group build on IPMS Ireland. The kit was built out of the box with no aftermarket parts. Paint was Xtracolor and Humbrol. Applied with a Badger 150 and Badger renegade airbrush. The top camouflage took about 4 hours and 3 sessions to do. I had a sore trigger finger at the end! All the best & Thanks for looking Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Very nice build. The paint work looks great. That is a hard scheme to do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Gary, SUPERB He -219. I admire you and all those guys that build these kinds of models as the decal work and camouflage looks quite irksome and fiddly But you guys always make it look so effortless.. This a beautiful model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have always liked that blotched camo pattern on German WW2 airplanes. Nice and clean too gets a big Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabat Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Sweet looking Eagle Owl, that camo looks spot on. Fantastic model, really must get one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DET 1 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 That has to be the nicest Luftwaffe scheme I've ever seen applied to a model! Absolutely beautiful! I'm expecting the SWS 219 shortly, and I HOPE I can do the finish NEARLY as well as you've done here! Awesome job!!! DET 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
