Here is my recently completed HE-162 of JG1, depicted immediately before its surrender at Leck airfield during the last days of World War 2. It was piloted by Rudolf Schmitt and had a disputable claim of one aircraft shot down with this airframe.
I have kept the weathering to a minimum, as I think that these aircraft were presented to the allies in quite good condition and it seems as though they were well kept.
Built completely from the box except for a metal pitot tube and cover made from Masking tape.
Finished using Gunze Sangyo RLM paints and markings sprayed using Montex Masks.
Total build time 1.5 weeks.
My usual `comparison' pic.
