Revell have published six photographs of test shots of their incoming release of 1/32 scale Heinkel He 219 Uhu.
What can we say about the kit except it's big? Although the parts come from test shots sprues I do not see any significant faults or fitting problems. Nice and clear glass with separate movable sections, detailed undercarriage, movable flaps. I'm a only bit afraid of the engine nacelles shape in their front section – original photographs shows a bit bigger roundness of shape. However let's wait for the experts opinion.

All the pictures were found on the Revell website.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

I am hoping for a quick release of aftermarket parts, I find that most plastic molds, even the best can't beat the detail that PE and resin adds.

It is only the first testshot. Usually testshots are just to test the tools if they really work and parts can easily be drawn out. Then it is about the general fit of parts and corrections if nesessary. In most cases not all details are applied, so a bit more can be expected for the next generation of testshosts. It should be stated that the Revell kit is clearly the best 219 up to now. The retail price will be very attractive and due to this the ZM kit will be no real competitor. be

Hi Andreas, I would love to provide more details about the kit but this was all what I found on the Revell website. Number of parts, price, box content - this is still a mystery for me as Revell didn't reveal this information in the official way yet. The same refers to Lynx kit.
