New purchase from the Aircraft Factory, the Heinkel He 219 Uhu, a WW2 German night fighter. Been wanting it for a while, so I finally got it. Here it is, flying above Berlin (VFR Germany). Enjoy!

You are correct sir, Tempelhof!
Thanks for the comments guys!
I have to say, this plane has always been very intriguing to me: first time a WW2 plane had ejection seats, onboard radar, guns firing at a upward 45 degree angle (correct me if I'm wrong) to stay away from tail and dorsal bomber gunners, the seat configuration (pilot and radar operator back to back), and a bulletproof shield to protect the pilot... Really interesting stuff to me.
