Here is Tamiya's
1/48 He219A-7 'Uhu' with the Aires detail set. This extensive resin
and etched set gives you both engines, detailed undercarriage bays, all gun bays
and a lovely cockpit. I've had this one knocking about in my stash for a
while, but finally got my finger out when I saw one completed at the Gloucester
show earlier this year.

Nothing is an easy
fit...and Aires's instructions leave much to be desired when it comes to
assembly. As you have to omit Tamiya's metal cockpit floor when you add
the set, I decided to only open up one engine nacelle, to ensure I didn't end up
with a tail sitter! The closed nacelle is full of lead, as is every spare
bit of space behind the cockpit.
