Tachikawa Ki-162-III Sanshoouo-Kai-San (dual engine He 162)

[UhuFin]

This model is based on WoWp MMO game's Tachikawa Ki-162-III. It's a Japanese license built Heinkel He 162 that is improved with dual engine, wider fuselage, bigger wings and elevator.









It is based on Special Hobby's wonderful 1/72 kit. To get two engines I had two kits. The other kit that lost its engine was used for the He 162A11 project that had Welland engine. The fuselage was widened 2mm and the wings were extended. The wider elevator is from Dragon's He 162 kit. The rockets under the wings are from AZ model kit. The canopy had to be made new by heatforming clear plastic sheet.




This is actually my 12th He 162    For comparison I have here Demuth's He 162A-2 with single BMW 003.

Uh, that's great.    The widened hull really makes a difference, esp. with the twin-engines on the back.

Cracking model, and longer wings are ALWAYS good.
