imatt88 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hey all, Was hanging around the Luftwaffe Experten boards and found this.. Captured and evaluated by the Soviets, given to the Czechs in nonflying condition, rebuilt by Avia from wrecks, and flown in Czech service until 1952, Pretty neat, huh? This will probably be on my to do list with the other half-started projects in my basement... Any clue what colors its painted in? The blue is too dark for RLM 65 and the green..? RLM 71? Any ideas?

benjaminsummerfield Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I believe the Czechs also used theirs as jet engine test beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imatt88 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Rick, Here is a pic of the 219 test aircraft I would guess that the paint scheme is similar to the one I posted above, but the pic makes the greens look funny.

imatt88 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hey all, Been 3 1/2 years since I posted this thread. A lot has changed since then, my divorce was final, lost my house, gained a new fiancee, moved to Florida, sold 90% of my stash, (including the He 219 I originally started this thread with) got away from the hobby for a time, gained three more grandchildren, yeah, its been a ride..... But I'm trying to get back into building again, so I reactivated my account and here I am. . So, did we ever come to a consensus of what the colors were for this aircraft? Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 So what else have you been doing these past 3 1/2 years? Just kidding. Sorry to hear about your experiences. But more importantly, have you got a replacement kit to continue this epic project? Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatt88 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Cees, I just purchased one, plus an Superscale decal sheet with the correct Czech roundels. Not selling this one! Cheers, Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
