| Done : Heinkel He219A-7 Gruppe Build... Oh well..... Was gonna do Bartels Bf 109G-10 "Yellow 13", the one that he went MIA in December '44, but that would mean that I'd have to order a kit and decals and I'm in a not gonna wait mood.... Was looking at my Royal Class Fw 190's....*naah, will keep you for a special occasion....*, Dragon's Fw 190A-7....*you wish, you're still p*ss*ng me off*, my Ju 88G-6....*he he he, ain't falling for that one!*, Ju 88C-6....*you'll become royal when the time is right, so nope* and my Ju 88 and Fw 190 Mistel...*are you f*cking kidding me?* Well, well, well.....what have we got here then? Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He 219A-(wishing you were an -2)...7! Yoink! You better believe it, that this bird isn't the only one wishing that it was an A-2!   Some pics,    x2 of these frames,  x2 of these frames too,  And some comparison with my WIP BOAC Mosquito.....where the h*ll am I gonna put this monster? I thought that the Mossie was big, but this lassie is longer and wider!  Obviously you can tell that I haven't looked in the box lately.

| Now this one is going to be interesting, and rather unusual! Nice choice Jan. Do you need any cockpit or detail shots? I think I have some knocking around in the 'special data reserved location store', more commonly known as the pile of c*ap on the floor!

 | I will watch this closely, I love the look of the Uhu, and the Tamiya kit is one of the (many) ones on my mental wishlist. It does look absolutely huge as well!!

 | Looking forward to it Jan, it builds up into a really neat plane. Why do you want it to be an A-2?
