1/32 He-162 A-2 "Salamander"
#1

Hi, everyone!

Just finished this one today, and couldn't refrain from posting some pics. Tongue I had it WIP for an absurdly long time (almost a year since I opened the box, though there were some months during which I didn't even look at it), so it is a BIG relief to see it finished and on the shelf at last.
Actually, I was hoping (at the beginning) to enter a contest with it, but on second thought, I better practice some more; or a lot.
And yes, I know it's glossy as hell. :oops:

Sadly, the area around the cannon muzzles was the only weathering I managed at all. Oh well, maybe next time.

The swastikas are way too big, yes. Happens when one has to make them by himself.

The pitot tube is patchwork- I somehow lost the piece and had to make it anew out of spare plastic. Shows, huh?

Sorry for so many pictures. This Volksjaeger is a very solid kit and I'd recommend it if you want a late-war Luftwaffe fighter; maybe it could use some additional detail, but the cockpit and engine, in particular, fit nicely together and have many details.

Constructive criticism appreciated!

Salute,
Ninetoes
