Volksjager Finished

[Sisko]

Nice job!!!!

I have that kit at home. Should pull it out and build it. what was the fit like?

I've seen the He-162 on display at the Chino Planes of Fame museum up close (it's a surviving original) and yours looks spot on. It probably looks better, since other than a few spots on the rudder (which expose the wood underneath) the Chino plane is relatively clean.

Very nice build mate,a few more pics would not go amiss.

Thanks Jeff, Sisko, Frank, Dork, and Ian!

Sisko,
This is a wonderful kit with no real problems in building it, the only possible problem with the kit is the decals. I used EagleCals on my model instead of the kit decals, other kits I have built in the past I tried using the kits decals and got poor results so I almost always use aftermarket decal sheets. Oh yeah, add plenty of weight to the nose, I almost ended up with a tail sitter even though I thought I had more than enough weight up front.

Frank,
You are lucky, I would almost kill to see a real He 162!

Ian,
Sorry about the lack of pictures...this weekend in my part of the world it is expected to rain so it might be two weeks before I can take any new pics.
Looks like all my time will be spent building/painting new stuff next weekend...which is a good thing!

Wow, Matrixone!!!

I really liked the -162, but now, I love it!!!    

And excellence is a thing not many modelers can achieve. You're right there with them best modelers!!

Thanks Rafa!

The He 162 sure has a ''what-if'' look to it for a real airplane, same goes for the Do 335 and Me 163. I might do the twin cockpit of the version of the Me 163 later this year if I have time for it.

It is perefect        
The Volksjager has a lot of whif potential: swept wings, two engines, ...

Thanks ysi_maniac!

I have started another Revell He 162, this one will be in what-if markings. This model should be finished sometime next spring because I have three other projects in the works right now that I want to finish first.

The weather is expected to clear up by next weekend so maybe I can take more pictures of my new models.
Watch this forum next Sunday for the new pics.
