Heinkel HE 219 "Uhu" Night Fighter
Here are some images of Tamiya's Heinkel HE 219 "Uhu" night fighter. From Wikipedia. "
A relatively sophisticated aircraft, the He 219 possessed a variety of
innovations, including an advanced intercept radar. It was also the
first operational military aircraft in the world to be equipped with
ejection seats, and the first German aircraft with tricycle landing
gear. Had the Uhu been available in quantity, it might have had a significant
effect upon the strategic bomber offensive of the RAF, but only 268
were built before the end of the War and they saw only limited service".
This model kit is what you would expect from Tamiya and that is to say
excellent.
