1/48 Heinkel HE219 UHU

Potentially one of the most effective night-fighters for the Luftwaffe, the Heinkel He219 "Uhu' (eagle owl) was doomed by political misjudgments and maltreatment. Started as a private venture study of the firm, the He219 incorporated a number of advanced features such as pressurized crew compartment, cockpit positioned at the extreme nose for excellent visibility, land gear of tricycle configuration, etc. The He219 was also the world's first operational aircraft to be equipped with ejector seats.

WWII Luftwaffe radar equipped twin engine nightfighter.
Detailed engine nacelles with exhaust flame dampers and landing gear wells.
Cockpit detail: control stick, instrument panel, radar set, and seats.
Other detail: Schrage Musik installation, antennae array and boarding ladder.
