(...) Good MOC, you nailed the pencil thin fuselage, though once again the canopy is tricky. Did the old TV antenna's come in grey? That would look great, though I have no idea what they go for. George (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi, I've put together my first WWII moc, a Heinkel He219 nightfighter (German). The He219 was a high-performance twin-engine fighter that debuted in 1943. Photos are here: (URL) The 4 antennae in the front are supposed to be radar aerials, not guns. (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
