The cockpit is all built up and so the fuselage can be closed. The engine is built & painted, it now needs all the detail work to be done.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys 🙂 This is a great kit from Revell, no issues and fun to build. A lot of the PE was not required as it either would not be seen or it was no better than the kit parts! Also there was an issue with the SAC white metal front gear leg as it was the wrong length so I used the kit part, not that you can tell!!! The PE for the engine was worth it though, IMO. No broken canopy Bart 🙂

Nice job Noob. I don't know why I haven't got around to getting a 1/48 162 yet? I must rectify that.

Album info

The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger (German, "People's Fighter" ), the name of a project of the Emergency Fighter Program design competition, was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe in World War II. Designed and built quickly, and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritised for other aircraft, the He 162 was nevertheless the fastest of the first generation of Axis and Allied jets. Volksjäger was the Reich Air Ministry's official name for the government design program competition won by the He 162 design. Other names given to the plane include Salamander, which was the codename of its construction program, and Spatz "Sparrow", which was the name given to the plane by Heinkel.
