Thought I would fly the flag over here as well.

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.





And the inspiration:

PS: Sometimes I wonder how the Germans could possibly have lost the war, given their technological superiority in so many areas.
