He-219 Revell Groupbuild

Soeren R.
Looking nice so count me in 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
First pictures of Revells impressive He-219. Detail seems to be a little bit inattentive for that scale... or should I say, in this case Eduards etched parts are worth their money for sure!

Christian Bruer
I'm in for another promising big bird in this GB🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
That´s fair spoken and motivating, Christian 🙂

Christian Bruer
Myself attend with a tiny scale onefourfour He-219 to this GB and I'm very impressed by all the fine work to be seen in the larger scales. The details in that scale are just amazing!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Well, your last sentence crossed my mind looking at your scale(s)!

Stefan Fraundorfer
I am in to see your next great project.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Stefan!
Some news from this "Uhu": fuselage sides are closed by now, encasing the Eduard boosted cockpit.
I did a preshading with mat black, followed by Gunzes RLM 66. After that I applied a decent washing with pastels.
Next focus will lie on the wheel bays and engine nacelles.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Some progress pictures of the wheel wells; you can recognize the condition without and with Eduards "exterior" etched parts attached.

Burkhard D
Watching 🙂

Stefan Schacht
me too 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice Roland. I finally got that kit for Christmas.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you mates!
Wheel wells are finished now- I have to apologize for the pictures-quality- and wings and elevators have been joined with the fuselage. Everything should be trimmed and sanded into appropriate size, so after applying the rudders I can start the paintwork.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Some progress: the wheel struts as the wheel bays have been painted- and the He-219 is (nearly) ready for preshading. At last!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Preshading has been done- rather ruff stuff for the following translucent and bright "RLM 76" to cover I guess..... 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
The peculiar German night-fighter camo has been applied by now- the next step will see some dirt and wear and tear being put on the surfaces- and the decals being applied, of course!

Gerald
Schöner Uhu 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Vielen Dank! 🙂

Rui S
Looking forward to see the next steps. Well done Roland 👍

Bart Goesaert
nice paintjob on the outside.. cockpit looks nice too...

Kerber
Amazing paintjob! Bravo!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Your comments are quite motivating-thank you a lot!
Just finished the decals- but I am still hesitating, if I should apply the walkways.....

Christian Bruer
Very nice camo painting Roland!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Christian, I appreciate your comment, thank you!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Finally finished!
One last picture of the He-219 being build- a lot of the finished "Uhu". I hope you like it 🙂

Stefan Fraundorfer
Großartiges Endergebnis Roland. Die Tarnflecken müssen je eine Höllenarbeit gewesen sein.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Danke Stefan!
Ja.... das waren sie; ich habe Dir/Euch gerade ein paar Baufotos als Teil meines Wettbewerbsbeitrages gesandt 🙂

Rui S
Beautiful He-219, Roland, and great pictures also. Congratulations 👍

Kerber
Congratulation! Your "Uhu" is amazing!!!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you both, mates, for your comments!

Kurt Reichert
Erstklassige Arbeit, der Uhu macht mächtig was her.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Danke Kurt, Deine Worte freuen mich sehr!

Bart Goesaert
must have been a tedious painting job, but it looks excellent... very well done.. just will continue to drool on the pictures...

Roland Sachsenhofer
Well.....your words and the other friendly comments compensate for any tedious work!
But, to be honest, I had to paint in just three steps, not counting pre- and post-shading of course- and it was quite a fun 🙂
Thank you very much, Bart!
