The FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2 radar was a key piece of equipment for German night fighters, used especially on Bf 110 and Ju 88 aircraft during Luftwaffe night operations. This system significantly increased the effectiveness of intercepting Allied night bombers, operating in UHF bands. For the modeler, this allows for a faithful reproduction of the most important aviation technologies of that period, perfectly reflecting the front-line character and realities of night air combat during World War II.

Features of the Master AM-48-027 set:

• Parts turned from precisely machined brass—providing excellent durability and an appearance close to the original
• The set includes photo-etched details to achieve the most realistic effect in the model
• Ideal as a replacement for original, too thick, or simplified plastic antennas in Bf 110 and Ju 88 models
• Easy installation—requires minimal tools (recommended soldering, drilling Ø 0.5 mm holes, CA gluing)

Who do we recommend it for?

We recommend this product for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to enhance the realism of their model. The assembly difficulty is rated at 3/5—the small parts, working with metal, and photo-etched components require precision and basic manual skills.

If you care about historical accuracy for your German World War II night fighter model, the Master AM-48-027 German radar FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2 in 1/48 scale is an indispensable addition to your modeling accessories collection.
