We review (& partially construct) the Revell 1/32 He-219 A-7/A-5/A-2 late "UHU"
There is once again a large scale battle on to win the night
skies over Germany – Large in scale meaning the 1/32nd market. Our
two contestants - the Zoukei Mura He-219 in the blue corner – with a high price
tag but high detail to accompany that – and in the red corner the He 219 from
Revell, boasting nearly as much detail but a much easier to swallow price tag.
Who wins the battle?? Well we have the Revell kit here to examine today – we will see if it kit can match it with the best in our
review…
