    1st PLACE EXPERT: 1/48 Tamiya Heinkel He-219 WNr 290123 of 1/NJG 1 Nightfighter GB

    Username: Crimea River
    Name: Andy
    Category 1 Advanced
    Model: Heinkel He 219 A-2
    Scale: 1:48
    Manufacturer: Tamiya
    Aftermarket addons: Eduard seat belts and lots of scracth built crap

    Finished shots of this challenging build follow. The build had its highs and lows but overall I'm pretty happy with the results. This is a good kit with incredible fit but there were some key detail parts left out that, if included, would have made this an exceptional kit from Tamiya.

    Brilliant! Excellent! - that's a damn fine job CR. I'll leave some superlatives for others, but it's hard not to use them all myself.

    Cheers

    Dude! Fantastic work there my friend.
