Heinkel He 162 Salamander

1/72 Heinkel He 162 ‘Salamander’, HobbyBoss 80239

Another quick build from Hobby Boss, added seat belts and a new pitot tube. No place to jam enough nose weight, I had to place the last required amount in the front nose wheel well. Painted with Mr. Hobby Aqueous paints and decals from the [...]

Heinkel He 162A-2 "Salamander" Revell | No. 04723 | 1:32

(link) I think I started to build this kit in 2017 or 2018 and deviated from the instructions by assembling and painting the fuselage, the wings, the tail, the wheels, engine covers, canopy etc as sub assemblies. This was as far as I got [...]

Tamiya He-162 Salamander

Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale. It’s a great kit but not one of Tamiya’s best in my opinion. It comes with the option of interchangeable open and closed engine [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale, Heinkel He-162A-2, "Salamander"

Calling THIS one done! This early jet had the distinction of killing more German pilots than those of the enemy. A really nice little kit that was a lot of fun, and builds well. I know, some of you may be thinking, "What? A [...]

Heinkel He162 A-2 SalamanderTamiya 1/48

Hello and happy new year! It's not a novelty since the He 162 Tamiya model appeared 13 years ago but I had a lot of fun to build it. Some modifications and additions : guns replaced by micro-tubes Aires ejector seat collimator and [...]

The First and the Last: Junkers F.13 & Mistel 5

The eerie hissing sound of the three jet engines shattered the night's peace. No time to waste, every pound of fuel was precious. Taxiing the clunky looking but really solid Mistel, many controversial thoughts kept on crossing his mind. [...]

1/48 Heinkel He-162A Volksjaeger

In its brief operational role, the small fighter made a lasting impression thanks to its revolutionary design. Of the four models presented here, one is Tamiya's and the rest are Dragon kits. Both are very good kits. Yet, I had to replace [...]

Dragon 1/72 Mistel 5

Hi everyone! This is my Dragon 1/72 Mistel 5, yet another entry to our friend's Paul Barber @yellow10 "First and Last" mini group. The Mistel 5 project was one of the last glide bomb developments submitted to the RLM before the [...]

Heinkel He 162A-2 in 1/72 scale from Special Hobby

I would like to say a few words about the freshly finished 1/72 He 162. The Special Hobby kit is a relatively fresh release and since I like all German jet planes, I purchased it soon after its release. I intended it for a quick, loose [...]

Heinkel He 162 A-1 1/72 Revell (Ex-Lindberg) No. 4143 (1984 boxing)

I recently finished building a 1/72 Revell/Lindberg He-162. This should have been an easy build but I lost interest on it pretty early after I started the build. About 4 different builds got done before I got serious on this one again. [...]
