I've decided to do my 1/72 Hobby Boss HE-162 "Salamander" as the Confederate States Air Force first Jet Fighter.

Work has begun:

You guys that make this look so easy are very annoying to those of us that clumsily make it look hard

WOW! Now that's progress! I really like the paint work.

Bloody hell - I'm still playing with major bits of airframe...

Beginning to think I should have done my HobbyBoss Turbocobra instead - two intakes, two nozzles and it's done.....

I have to move fast because I usually don't get a chance to build during the week, which means my 1 week builds are really weekend builds.

Airbrushed? Freehand or with spaghetti mask?

Looks fantastic.

BlackOps · July 05, 2008, 07:16:22 PM

Airbrushed with silly putty mask.

I hate you.

No, I love you!

I hate you.

I....oh, I'm so confused.

I like this camo. Should be an interesting Heinkel.

sweet mother of pearl! Love the dixie wrap on the engine ! Wonderful presentation, too !

Really nice. The camo and markings really set it off. I'm surprised there isn't a Confederate Battle Flag on there.
