Tamiya 1/48 He-219 Uhu Aircraft Injection Plastic Kit

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Tamiya's Uhu kit fully shows off the engineering skills that have earned them their reputation for the best kit quality in the world -- not just accuracy and detail, but buildability as well.

Kit detail and sharpness is at their usual superb level and no further commentary is necessary on that. Special features of this kit include a metal cockpit floor assembly that acts as nose ballast, choice of flaps up or down, internal detail on the dorsal 30mm cannon, an optional boarding ladder, and an easy-to-build nose radar assembly (a large, x-shaped piece goes inside the nose and is then covered by the nose cone. The outer antenna then attach to this). Cockpit detail should satisfy most modelers, and includes rudder pedals as well as good detail for the rear-seater's radar and radio equipment (two figures are included, but it's the same guy twice). Decals are well-printed (finally!) and include the instrument panels and swastika. Marking directions for two different aircraft are included, as is a 1/48 scale painting guide.
