Heinkel He 219 Uhu Tamiya 1/48 - Aircraft Model 

I will make two bonus videos for enthusiastic modelers. :-D

oh year, the Dresden bombardment... the big problem of talking about this war crime is that there never have been any war crimes done by the US or other allied in WWII. so - by decree - they never existed. but, just for the Dresden case there were reports given by eye witnesses. and there were messages given by some nordic newspapers that illustrated the real story about that night in Dresden. this city - at that time - was a shelter point for many humans, outstanding most of them noncombatants - but civilians. so tell me some one what did the bombers expect to bomb that night? what did the air fighters expect to shot at the shores of the river Elbe? military - really? nope, they got a full hit onto the civilians - and they knew it! and - as i guess - it was intended.

@@rp8133 Yes, you just defined terrorism. Bomber Command (it was the British, not the Americans) were deliberately killing civilians en mass, to demoralise their enemy. It didn't achieve this result. By this stage of the war all humanity was pushed aside. The Americans did the same thing (this time successfully) with nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Bizarrely these two nuclear attacks were less lethal than some of the phosphorous attacks such as Dresden. Many, if not all, of the bomber crews did not want to slaughter children by dropping clouds of burning phosphorous onto their homes. But they were forced to do so by their leaders. War is the ultimate act of human stupidity. The most stupid part is; the "victor" gets to write the history books and leave out the parts that show they too, were monsters. When you ignore history, you are doomed to repeat it.

You are both conveniently forgetting the London blitz where the Nazis bombed nothing but civilians so what’s the difference? This is the problem with armchair critics like you people who know little about the reality of the situation. My opinion.

True,true

Sounds like an interesting technique, James!

nice idea! I personally use Salt Technique to make scratches and chipping too, but it is a bit difficult sometimes

It is a useful technique for heavy weathered japanese models or AFV, but I do not recommend if you need only a few scratches. You can easy overdone scratches and result is more or less random. Also, it requires more layers, and the whole process is time-consuming. However, it is handy technique and is good to know it.

I don't even do scratches

@tacfoley That's a fat oof for the operator

tacfoley the he 219 ha ejection seats so maybe that is why he was only flying in a seat

...and the tail Radar Antenna is "passive" receiving enemy night Fighter detection.

The long exhaust pipes were used as "Flame killers" in the night.

Děkuji za pochvalu. Ohledně toho opotřebení jsem zvolil variantu what if. Mám asi tři knížky, které jsem používal jako podklad a máte pravdu. Každopádně připadalo mi to pořád nějak nudné a moc jednotné. Většinou pak neberu ohledy na realističnost. Ono ve výsledku nedává moc smysl olezlé kryty motoru a zbytek je relativně čistý, ale zase podle mého vkusu to pěkně opticky rozbije.

Není zač, nemám problém pochválit někomu výtvory pokud za to stojí a to vaše ano bez nějaké diskuze.Sleduji je už nějaký čas a není toho moc co bych mohl vytknout (vlastně mě teď nic ani nenapadá ) a to jsem prosím pěkný ,,hnidopich " :-) Oni ty 219 celkově ani moc ,,olezlé " být nemohly protože toho zas tak moc nenalétaly,proto ani vámi zmiňované kryty motorů nemohly být nějak extra sešlé. Zašpinění uniklými provozními kapalinami atp. budiž, něaký ten škrábanec od mechaniků taky ,ale tím to asi končilo. V každém případě každý modelář do svého modelu dává i kousek sebe, své autorské licence abych tak řekl ,takže pokud jej tak cítíte není o čem se hádat. Ale jak říkám ,jsem hnidopich a je potřeba mne tak brát :-). Rád sleduji jak to dělají druzí,sám stavím scratchbuilty v 1:72 ,převážně IDF ,nemám větší problém vysochat něco téměř z ničeho ale v závěrech ,hlavně kolem patiny cítím ještě mezery takže rád ,,opisuji ".Ještě jednou přeju mnoho zdaru do dalších projektů a těším se na další videa.
