Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He219A-7 Uhu

Product Description

The Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He 219 A-7 Uhu is one of Tamiya’s standout aircraft kits, representing Germany’s advanced WWII night fighter with exceptional detail and engineering. Known as the “Uhu” (Eagle Owl), the He 219 A-7 was equipped with radar and heavy armament, making it one of the most formidable night interceptors of the war.

This kit features Tamiya’s signature precision fit and thoughtful breakdown, making it suitable for both experienced builders and intermediate modelers looking to step up their skills.

Inside the box, you’ll find finely molded parts with crisp recessed panel lines, a highly detailed cockpit, and optional radar antenna arrays for the nose. The kit includes both standard and Schräge Musik upward-firing cannons, allowing you to build a historically accurate late-war configuration.

Clear parts are thin and distortion-free, perfect for showing off the cockpit detail, and the landing gear and wheel wells are well represented out of the box. Decals typically include multiple Luftwaffe night fighter schemes with radar-equipped aircraft markings.

Fit is generally excellent—as expected from Tamiya—with minimal filler required. The radar arrays are delicate and require careful handling, but they reward patience with a striking final appearance.

This kit is ideal for modelers interested in WWII aviation, Luftwaffe subjects, or unique twin-engine aircraft. It also offers great opportunities for advanced weathering, especially with late-war mottled camouflage and night fighter finishes.
