He-162 Salamander

Engine primed 

Some components of the engine mounted 

A lot of non plastic pieces, first time for me 

New assemblies  

Assembling the tubes 

Hardest thing I ever done in a model 

I think it's good 

Ready for close fuselage 

Fuselage closed 

Ready for painting 

First time doing preshading, some suggestions? 

Sadly the decals are brittle and unusable, before continuing the project I have to restore them
