Taming the Owl! Revell's He-219


Recommended Posts

You know every time I see you and Jim build I’m reminded of how far I’ve come since joining LSM however I’m also reminded that my modeling journey has just  barely begun.

I will follow your He-219 and Jim’s Ju88 builds with great interest.

Looking really good Jeroen, whats your method for painting the leather bits, I like the look a lot.

 

Cheers Bevan

Hi Bevan,

 

Thnx. I first use medium brown Mr. Hobby paint. Then i use oil paint (burnt sienna) undiluted and smear it on. Then I wipe the excess off with a soft cloth and Q-tip :)

Managed to close the fuse today.

Added some extra fishing line weights in the nose just to make sure.

Also removed the Revell Revi Gunsight. Looked to small and chunky so dug up a Quickboost one from the spares box.

How much weight did you put in the nose?

Hi Ralph,

 

Well, the radio is made of heavy metal :) . MK1 supplies an additional weight but it was too big to fit. So instead of cutting it to size I added about the same weight in fishing lead. I didn't bother to weigh it since there's only one way of telling whether it's sufficient and that's building the whole thing :)

 

We'll see!

Here you see the He219 in the Bos Model Stand that I'm reviewing at the moment.

Truly an amazing tool. All you need is a screwdriver to assemble a jig that fits your build. Biplane, twin engine or fighter.

 

The wings arent glued at this point, but the jig holds everything together.

I'd never heard of this aircraft until I saw it here, and I've completely fallen for it.  I'm happily watching this build, and I'm thinking of adding one to the stash at some point - it's an extraordinary aircraft.

 

Thanks for sharing this with us!
