PAINT AND GLUE INCLUDED
The Heinkel He 219, one
of the most effective German combat aircraft,
was used specially as a night fighter and was the very first aircraft
to be produced in series with ejector seats. Its capability at the
front was tested on the night of 11/12 June 1943 by Squadron Leader
Streib of NJG 1 night fighter unit out of Venlo, Holland, who on this
sortie was able to shoot down five enemy bombers. The He 219 achieved
considerable success in combat against Allied bomber units due to the
incorporation of new weapons technology such as the rear-mounted
"Schräge Musik = hot music" (Mk 108 cannon).
