Hi Ricardo. You have done a beautiful job on this kit. One of my favourite aircraft. Very nice paint job too. You should be proud of yourself, I hope that you put it into a competition. It is worthy of that. Very nice indeed, well done.
Thank you! I had great fun doing the camo, I needed to buy a proper airbrush to do the job, once the cheap one I had before was not performing good in the test samples I did. Best regards.
camo is beautiful - looks like a fish under the water surface with sunshine dappling it . The aircraft is lovely looking and so advanced . Great Job Ricardo . Wales UK
You Sir, are a Master Modeller, Respect! My first model was the Airfix 'Golden Hind', almost 60 years ago... At 40, my eyes could not focus like they used to, then alas 15 yrs ago my hands began to shake.. "They say Time, is the Fire in which we burn" Plastic 'kits' have been a very good time in my early years, enjoy while you can my Friends!
Hi, thank you for the kind words! I don't have the Golden Hind, but I do have a Nina from Columbus, it even floats on water due to the stones I put in to it to lay straight :) "Time is the Fire in which we burn" is the first time I hear that, but remembers me the other hobby I have that is astronomy. Are you poet Sir? I am a very slow modeller, beacause I enjoy to spend a lot of time on detail. I finished another model a month ago, and I'am doing now a Dornier Do17.
Beautiful build. The attention to detail is incredible. Looks almost like an actual aircraft. The Heinkel 219 was one of the most advanced fighter aircraft of WWII. Had Germany had more of them, along with more experienced pilot's to operate them at their designed capacity, Germany may have had more of an effect with them. Unfortunately, only a couple hundred of them were made by the end of WWII. As far as historians can figure out, there is only one Heinkel 219 left in possible flying condition (after it would be restored) currently at the Smithsonian Institution storage facility awaiting a full, ground up restoration possibly at some point in the future. It would be awesome if the Smithsonian would actually tkae on the project of restoring the bird to flight worthy condition and actually allow it to fly once more, but the likelihood is that they will just restore it to museum show condition. Supposedly the aircraft is still in very good condition (although disassembled at the current time and stored in parts) as it was almost brand new when the US Army Air Forces came into possession of it after WWII. It was eventually brought to the United States (after being obtained by the "Watson's Whizzer's" group in Germany just after the war concluded) and test flown by USAAF test pilots to see what it's strengths and weaknesses were and then stored in a vacant warehouse for many years in Chicago at the sight where eventually Chicago O'Hare Airport was built. When the new O'Hare airport was being built, many of the former German aircraft stored there were unfortunately considered not useful anymore due to the emerging "Jet Era", and were crushed. Supposedly the crushed aircraft are underneath the runways at O'Hare airport. They did however keep the Heinkel HE219 "UHU Eagle Owl" and donated it to the Smithsonian where it has been ever since. This aircraft was considered one of the first aircraft to be designed from the ground up as a night fighter. It's direct contemporary was the United States' own P-61 Black Widow which was also developed as a stand alone "night fighter" equipped with highly advanced RADAR (for the time period). The UHU Eagle Owl was also equipped with Germany's own version of RADAR. RADAR came into it's own during WWII and has been a staple of not only aviation but other fields as well up to the present. We can thank an off-shoot of RADAR technology every time we heat up something in the Microwave Oven!
And if the proper engines could have been delivered it would have been even greater! Acording to the books I read, the plane took slightly underpowered engines because of shortages of war. Full with ammo was a heavy bird.
The larger they scale the more accurate every detail has to be, it’s the first time I’ve seen this Camouflage done and it’s superb, I just wished it had been actual moving video, still watched it twice just in case I’d missed anything though, thanks for showing us all....😎😎
That is true. each part of the plane was like doing a small kit of its own, specially the cockpit part where I spent a couple of months and studied the pilots colours. You always found historical variations, but on the end the kit is yours and you decide :) When I took the pictures of the development of the kit I still didn't know I would be doing the video, but I kept your idea, thanks. BRegards.
Parabéns Ricardo! Seu modelo ficou realmente impressionante! Mandou muito bem dedidando para o Alex também....ele é um grande artista e os videos dele são muito bons! Abraço do Brasil!
Oi Obrigado Crazy Mariner! Sim o Alex faz imensos kits e tem muitos videos e bons conselhos. Para mim foi muito útil por exemplo aquele em que explica o polimento da canopy, uma vez que a do Heinkel 219 vinha ligeiramente riscada de fábrica. Por fim consegui também poli-la! Abraço de Portugal para Brasil!
Nicely done. The He219 "Owl" is one of my favorite acft from WWII . Heinkel designed the acft to be easy to maintain if you notice all those access covers. She was fast to boot. Those who want to see the real one check out the Udvar-Hazy museum in Virginia. This museum was designed to hold over 300 acft under one roof. When you can. Loose the Concorde in a museum its big! It's well worth the trip to the D.C. Area.
A beautiful build of an incredible aircraft,imagine if the luftwaffe had these in large numbers in 1943,bomber command would have been shredded. I am currently building the Revell 1/32 Ju88 and didn't know where I could buy crew figures,so thanks for mentioning the JP figures.
I just checked that the Hazy Center posted some new pictures of the cockpit, inside of fuselage and some panels! What a delight! Indeed me to I'm wating with great interest for the full restoration! :)
Hola Ricardo, es un excelente e impecable trabajo el que presentas, mis congratulaciones y gracias por compartir este tutorial...se puede apreciar la experiencia...un saludo desde Madrid. Te sigo por tú página.
Olá Rolando, Gracias tanto pelas palavras simpáticas! Fico feliz que o meu Kit não está apenas em Viseu, mas já deu um voo por várias partes da comunidade virtual. Te gusta tambíen maquetismo? Um abraço para Madrid!
Beautiful job. I plan to set up a Uhu, I think it's a beautiful plane. In 1/32, I found that there is the version of Revell, and also the version of Zoukei Mura, which depending on the price, is four times more expensive (!!!). Have you had a chance to compare them and see if the price justifies buying the Zoukei? Thanks for the video, it has been a pleasure to see the step by step of your work.
Hi Miguel! Thank you! Indeed I knew about the Zoukei Mura model after I bought my Revell. I saw the pictures and review, is an impressive model, I think worth of the money if you have enought enthusiasm and pacience. I am already patient, I love to paint and build very precise and slow each detail, but I think I would spend to much time on Zoukei Mura. I think maybe 1-3 years. Building that model in phases, and build other models in between would be probably a good option. Zoukei Mura is a model for sure not to build in a rush; besides I read reviews you should paint in very thin layers every part, so the movable panels would fit over the structure after all the paintings and varnishes. My Heinkel took me around a year to complete (with periods of interruption). For me Revell and all the Eduard extra parts were already satisfying; maybe I would recommend Revell just to put a bit more detail in the engines as an option.
Postavil jsem He-219 v měřítku 1:72 a další He-219 v měřítku 1:32 čeká v krabici. Hledám na internetu inspiraci, jak vytvořit správně světlé "hady" RLM76. Nemohl jsem si nevšimnout, že zatímco vy je máte jako různé vlnovky, skutečný letoun ve Washingtonu je má jako různé kliky a smyčky. Až na tento rozdíl (který je pro mě samozřejmě podstatný) se mi vaše stavba velmi líbí.
Great model and job ! I have a request for you, Ricardo. Could you make pictures of all technical stencils from this Heinkel He-219 for me ? I thank you for your answer beforehand. With respect to you, Dmitriy.
Hi Dmitriy, thank you for the kind words! Just leave me your E-mail and i'll send you with pleasure the layouts for the camouflage. I have it in PDF at 1/32. I made myself as a guide to the paiting, but I was not really using them like a stencil. You can improvise, but firstly try on a paper if you like the efect. The lines are my favorite instead of stains... Best regards, wherever you are from :)
Good evening, Ricardo ! Thank you for your feedback. I am also interested in camouflage, but most of all I need full basic stencil. Here is my email : russianlad73@mail.ru.
i'm conflicted when adding wheels to a model plane, do you sand part of the wheel to create the illusion of weight, do you buy after market weighted wheels, or do you just leave them round? in this case, you left them round.
best looking He 219 model on youtube with beautiful attention to details- how did you paint the camo ? free hand ? or you transferred somehow the lines to the upper wings/fuse ?
Thank you, I was doing this kit during around one year, just from time to time. If I would have considered continuously, it would have taken probably around 4 months. In such big and detailed kits I spend a lot of time trying perfection in details :)
Hallo, what a beautyfull "Uhu". Fantastic work. I can't see in your Video, how do you put the camouflage-sceme on the plane. Please, explain me your way to mask the plane. I think your Nightfighter-Camouflage is perfekt. Thank you for doing this video. Greetings from Germany. Bernd.
Hallo Bernd, danke schön für die nette Kommentare! Beforehand I studied the curves and lines of the pattern of the revell pictures as well of the plane in Washington. There is a bit of a logic even if it was drew spontaneously by Luftwaffe crews. After making the camouflage study on the computer, I just drew the RLM 76 lines more or less on the same spots, having the panels as reference guides. For this there was no "mask" (but it was a headache with enamel paint, next time for such lines use definitely acrylic paint, that is more fluid!). For the black part I placed paper masks taken and adjusted from the side views as you see on the video. To place the paper masks a bit above the surface but not right on it, it used pieces of curved yellow tamiya masking tape. By the way are you from Rostock? I told one of my german friends from this city about Heinkel factory there, she had no idea :) Mit herzlichen Grüssen aus Portugal! Ricardo
Hello Mr. Ricardo, lovely build! I liked yours so much I decided to buy one kit myself. I just have a little request for you. Could you please send me a camouflage PDF that you used in the video? With respect, A friend of yours.
So lucky! Just opening the box is already a delight. I remember how I spent several days removing very carefuly the pieces from the sprues, and removed the antennas with a hot knife to melt carefully the sprues... Have joy with your kit!
congratulations on the work done. Let me make a critical (hopefully constructive) critique on your job. I'm sure if I'd ventured a bit more with model wear, it would have given more realism to the subject by eliminating that toy feeling..1/32 scale is very big!..big model, big special effect!.. In any case, congratulations especially on the effect of upper surface spindles
Thank you four your opinion!! Indeed I was wondering about giving some more wear realism, and for that I was reading the AK Aircraft Scale Modellling F.A.Q. (great magazine!). I painted a bit metalic scratches inside the cockpit, but when I started do do the same over the wings (after the panels washes), I didn't like it. Maybe for a next model I'll risk a bit more :)
Ricardo Mendes Hi Ricardo, I want to better explain my opinion on your model in short: the sesation that I had looking at your finished Heinkel, and as if your beautiful model has never received (as in the historical operating reality of HE 219) maintenance work , never rolled the wheels in the grass or mud, or never flew to fight the bombers with the mighty cannons MG 151/20 and MK 108/30 but in any case, I am convinced that you have made a beautiful model "as if he had left the Heinkel factory" Ciao bro!
Wonderful model and very advanced aircraft for its day. Thank you for respecting its origins by being faithful to its markings, pilots and history.
Outstanding detail , the He 219 was advanced for it's day.
What a wonderful place to be...modeling... ;). One of the most beautiful planes in History
Indeed Carlos! The survivor of Smithsonian Museum has wings now attached, the restoration is almost complete!
Hi Ricardo. You have done a beautiful job on this kit. One of my favourite aircraft. Very nice paint job too. You should be proud of yourself, I hope that you put it into a competition. It is worthy of that. Very nice indeed, well done.
That Paint job is insane. at 11:55ish its just hypnotizing. I love various shades of grey. What a beautiful job!
Thank you! I had great fun doing the camo, I needed to buy a proper airbrush to do the job, once the cheap one I had before was not performing good in the test samples I did. Best regards.
Very nice job. The camo looks great. Well done.
Great Camo job. It is a huge aeroplane.
camo is beautiful - looks like a fish under the water surface with sunshine dappling it . The aircraft is lovely looking and so advanced . Great Job Ricardo . Wales UK
Yes, I was thinking it was like sunlight on the bottom of a swimming pool.
Increíble, hermano!
Te quedó perfecto!!!

A fantastic Aircraft modell.
You did a superb job!!!
the fact that you added the swastikas elevates this model from 'so so', to totally accurate, historical GEM!! Great work!!!
super montage et quelle peinture absolument superbe 10/10 pour se model
Merci Philippe pour les mots, j'espére que mon kit vous prendera aussi l'inpiration pour votres modeles.
Tolles Modell.Super
An amazing job! Well done - you've produced a terrific model. A real achievement and a credit to the actual aircraft.
Caráia, vc superou o montador da Revell!!! Parabéns pelo talento e paciência!
A magnificent piece of artistry!!! Great video of the build as well!
Hi! Thank you for the kind words. I should post another video soon, I am a slow modeller, with other hobbys as well :)
Wow, all that effort really paid off! BEAUTIFUL model of an awesome aircraft!
Mega work 🔥🔥🔥
Excelente trabajo. Gracias por compartir.

BEAUTIFUL!!! I wish I could get that kind of detail with my wobbly hands!
Estupenda dedicatoria... para un estupendo maquetista y amigo... saludos Alex.
Wonderful model!
lovely plane! nice build mr! :)
Fantastic model. Nice work, well done
a very nice job!!! Martin. Kiel, Germany
Danke sehr Martin, viele Grüsse an Deutschland. Ich habe immer Fernweh, in Dresden zu wohnen hat es mir sehr gut gefallen.
amazing paint job. excellent color scheme. 1/32 scale planes are my fave.
Thank you Tommy, indeed 1/32 is a enjoyable scale. I'm now building 1/32 engines for other kits, and just that is like an entire 1/72 kit.
Nice build indeed!!
You did a piece of Work mate...Cheers cause pictures...Itś soo niceee
Very nice work, I like the version you picked. I picked the same one I want to build soon
E só agora reparei... obrigado pela dedicatória!
Best night fighter of the war...
And if the proper engines could have been delivered it would have been even greater! Acording to the books I read, the plane took slightly underpowered engines because of shortages of war. Full with ammo was a heavy bird.
really beautiful build, would have like to see you do a video build, great work
Outstanding work
Stunning! Great job made with passion!!!
Thank you Marco! I did it also with pleasure to share with other people!

Excellent work, you are a very talented modeller!
Hi Kevin, is very kind from you, it was a great joy doing something like this plane with passion for machine and history.
I do love to study with a few books before get deep in with the plane !!! ;) Cheers..very nice JoB !!!!
Parabéns Ricardo! Seu modelo ficou realmente impressionante! Mandou muito bem dedidando para o Alex também....ele é um grande artista e os videos dele são muito bons! Abraço do Brasil!

I really enjoy your video and work, sooo beautiful !!!!!
Thanks a lot, having a hobby brings us enjoyment and passion. I love to read about the issues before I dedicate to them some model.
Espetacular, grande realização.
Muitos parabéns.
Obrigado! Foi um grande prazer, é o "menino" da minha colecção de centenas de miniaturas diversas :)
Always one of my favorites. An incomplete restoration is at thee Hazy Center in VA.
I just checked that the Hazy Center posted some new pictures of the cockpit, inside of fuselage and some panels! What a delight! Indeed me to I'm wating with great interest for the full restoration! :)
Superb!
Fantastic!

I have this kit but doubt very much if could make such a great build of it. It looks amazing well done!
Do more vids, they are really good!
Thank you! Indeed I am doing now another plane video to be published soon :)

What figures did you buy?
não só gostei como vou dar um shout a ver se ficas com mais umas quantas subs amigo! parabens! bom trabalho!
Obrigado amigo Alex, acho que o shout já começou a fazer efeito! Estou para terminar um Me 262 transparente 1/48 :)

Great modelling and painting.!!!
Kudos to you.!!!!
Nice job. How many hours did you spend on it?
Thank you, I was doing this kit during around one year, just from time to time. If I would have considered continuously, it would have taken probably around 4 months. In such big and detailed kits I spend a lot of time trying perfection in details :)
If i might ask.. what company did your display case come from?
Hello Citvogel, I made by myself the grass and asphalt parts, the acrylic box was custom made by a local company in my city.
Hallo,
what a beautyfull "Uhu".
Fantastic work.
I can't see in your Video, how do you put the camouflage-sceme on the plane. Please, explain me your way to mask the plane. I think your Nightfighter-Camouflage is perfekt.
Thank you for doing this video.
Greetings from Germany.
Bernd.
Hallo Bernd, danke schön für die nette Kommentare! Beforehand I studied the curves and lines of the pattern of the revell pictures as well of the plane in Washington. There is a bit of a logic even if it was drew spontaneously by Luftwaffe crews. After making the camouflage study on the computer, I just drew the RLM 76 lines more or less on the same spots, having the panels as reference guides.

Mas!
Heinkel is quiet different from Henschel.
Hello Mr. Ricardo, lovely build! I liked yours so much I decided to buy one kit myself. I just have a little request for you. Could you please send me a camouflage PDF that you used in the video?
With respect, A friend of yours.
Hi, thank you! Sure write me down your e-mail and I'll send you the one I have in PDF 1/32 scale. Best regards!
11:42 what is the name of the song?
Oh my goodness I can not do that!!!!
i was going to buy this at my local hobby shop but some one got to it before me
So lucky! Just opening the box is already a delight. I remember how I spent several days removing very carefuly the pieces from the sprues, and removed the antennas with a hot knife to melt carefully the sprues... Have joy with your kit!
i couldn't buy it it was no longer on sale some one got to it just before i could
fuck it. build a 1/32 f4u corsair. another great plane. revell, trumpeteer, tamiya offer great 1/32 corsair kits in their own right.
congratulations on the work done.
Let me make a critical (hopefully constructive) critique on your job. I'm sure if I'd ventured a bit more with model wear, it would have given more realism to the subject by eliminating that toy feeling..1/32 scale is very big!..big model, big special effect!..

Ciao bro!
paskapants yes
Me too have same your opinion..in general good model, specially upper surface paint
vim pelo canal Hoje na Segunda guerra mundial
Из-за музыки в начале подумал что мисскликнул на расследование Навального
Welchen Sinn sollte eine solche Tarnbemalung gehabt haben ? Helle Ober- & dunkle Unterseite ? Richtig wäre genau umgekehrt ! Oben grau unten hellblau !!!
Built it twice last thiing you ever do is ever put those bloody aerials on 🤔
15 waste of time. for viewing photos
love the annoying cheap ass opening music
Beautiful model !
