    Minifig scale He219 WWII German Nightfighter —Gary Thomas
   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)

     (...) 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)

     (...) The old antennae do indeed come in grey - though I couldn't tell you what set, or what they're ging for now. I was thinking the same thing, they would be a perfect representation of the aerials in the front. Great plane, Gary! Somewhere (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) Thanks guys. Yeah, I thought how killer those antennae would look, didn't have any available though :( If I can dredge any up, I'll be sure to try them out. I just got some parts in from BrickBay, so I'm overhaulling the front end tonight. (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) Wow! that looks fabulous! the shape is so perfect, that is soooo cool! the wings are great, as are the tail fins. I love the engines too, they're sweet! Have you thought of using two naboo fighter canopies one in front of the other for the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
    
         Re: Minifig scale He219 WWII German Nightfighter —Gary Thomas
     (...) Thanks! (...) Ahh! You ruined the suprise... I just got 2 of the canopies in from Brickbay, and am overhauling the front end with them. I'll repost the new photos when I'm done - should look *much* better. I should've waited to begin with, but (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) By "one in front of the other" do you mean "back to back"? If you put 'em back to back, you can probably angle them as well--tilt them downward about 30 degrees and the curvature would be absolutely perfect. Can't wait to see the pictures!

   (...) Schräge-Musik installations, unfortunately, ignored the problem of falling bomber debris. :) And, of course, if they were photocell-actuated (rocket-firing versions were), your wingman could be in for a shock...

   (...) My thoughts exactly - after I was finished I realized it was a passable Dornier 17, especially with the canopy I used, and the upper wing profile. Oh well. (...) The Salamander would be a totally cool MOC, I'd love to see the photos. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
