1:32 SCALE HEINKEL HE 219
COMING FROM REVELL
T
he Heinkel He 219 was one of the Luftwaffe’s
most effective combat aircraft. It was used
specifically for night fighting and was the first
aircraft ever to be fitted with ejection seats
as standard. The Heinkel 219’s suitability to its
role was proven on the night of 11/12 June 1943
over Venlo in the Netherlands when Major Streib
of NJG.1 was able to shoot down five enemy
bombers during THIS single mission.
The He 219 achieved remarkable successes in the
fight against Allied bombers due to the installation of
new weapons such as the “Schräge Music”, a name
given to the upward firing MK 108 cannons in the
rear fuselage.
The A-7 version received the most extensive
modifications and was still in use at the end of the
Second World War II.
Following their spectacular large-scale releases of
recent years, Revell now adds to its Junkers Ju 88,
Arado Ar 196 and Heinkel He 111 with a 1:32
scale Heinkel He 219 A-7.
The model is due for release in the last quarter
of 2012.
Revell’s 1:32 scale Heinkel He 219 will be made
up from 360 plastic parts and will feature a high
level of detail. It will be a big model too, with the
wing spanning 578 mm.
Diedrich Wiegmann has built the first test shot
of this kit and we have some of the results of his
efforts here.
We will have more news about this exciting
release in the next Aircraft Edition of Military
Illustrated Modeller.
Revell model kits are available from all good toy
and model retailers. For

JUBILEE AIRSHOW A ROARING SUCCESS
Over 17,000 people attended The Jubilee Air Show at IWM Duxford on Sunday 27 May.
O
n a gloriously hot and sunny
on 6 July 1935, which celebrated the
jubilee of his father, King George V. On
his accession to the throne, a year later,
as King Edward VIII, his Dragon Rapide
became the founding aircraft of the King’s
Flight.
DCG-1 Chipmunk WP903 was built in
1952 and served with the Queen’s Flight.
It was the actual aircraft on which Prince
Charles learnt to fly. In addition to Prince
Charles, several other members of the
Royal Family learnt to fly on this aircraft
type, including Prince Philip and Prince
Andrew.
The Bucker Jungmeister provided a
celebratory nod to this year’s Olympics,
as the aircraft that swept the boards in
the aerobatic competition at the Berlin
Olympics in 1936.
The Patrouille Cartouche Dore, French Air Force,
performed its first aerial display at IWM Duxford
and in mainland UK. It was followed by the BAe
Hawk from 208 (R) Squadron, RAF Valley. No air
show at IWM Duxford would be complete without
the historic Spitfires so synonymous with Duxford’s
history. Supermarine Spitfire MkV, Mk IX and Mk
IXT next flew over IWM Duxford’s historic airfield.
A final surprise item in the flying schedule
was a banner tow celebrating the Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee.
Visit iwm.org.uk for details of events and activities.
Sunday, visitors enjoyed exploring
the museum, making Airfix
models with the Airfix Make and
Paint Zone, handling historical objects,
enjoying fun children’s rides, tank riding
and much more across the museum.
The flying display commenced at
2pm in grand style with the powerful
Eurofighter Typhoon from 6 Squadron,
RAF Leuchars. This was followed by the
iconic B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B and
two North American Harvards (the type
of aircraft that Prince Philip flew).
The Westland Lynx from 815 Naval
Air Squadron, RNAS Yeovilton, was
next to display. The Lynx helicopter was
the type flown by Prince Andrew. The
was followed by the legendary Battle of Britain
Memorial Flight Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker
Hurricane and Avro Lancaster.
The Grob Tutor is the type of aircraft that Prince
William learn to fly on. The Grob Tutor displaying
at The Jubilee Air Show was from 16 (R) Squadron,
RAF Cranwell, where Prince William learnt to fly.
This was followed by two glorious Hawker
Nimrod bi-planes, from Historic Aircraft
Collection and The Fighter Collection, flying with
a Hawker Hurricane.
Following that was a Beechcraft King Air B200
from 45 (R) Squadron, RAF Cranwell.
The Shorts Tucano from CFS Flight, RAF Linton-on-
Ouse, performed a stunning display in its new 2012
Diamond Jubilee red, white and blue colour scheme,
which looked glorious against the pure blue skies
over IWM Duxford. The Shorts Tucano is another
aircraft type that has been flown by Prince William.
The Lockheed F-16 Fighting Falcon from 360
Squadron Florennes, Belgian Air Force, performed
a rip-roaring display that wowed the crowds.
Prince Edward VIII owned a de Havilland
Rapide, which he flew to and from RAF Duxford
to see the spectacular sight of the Royal Review
