The He 219 was arguably the Luftwaffe's best nightfighter during WWII
and was notable for an extraordinary debut mission in June 1943 when a
prototype shot down five RAF Lancaster bombers. This kit depicts the
final production variant, the A-7, which was equipped with DB 603G
engines for improved high-altitude performance. Distinctive features
such as the slim fuselage, greenhouse-style canopy, and tricycle landing
gear are all accurately reproduced. The cockpit interior even features
an integrated nose weight to ensure the model stays balanced when
displayed. Two crew figures and three marking options are also included.
