ericg Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 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. Piprm, EmperorKai, Sparzanza and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Excellent result mate, especially for such a quick build! I haven't even touched the workbench in the time it took you to churn this one out. It's going straight into the pool room (website)! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
