mpk Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Here are a few photos of my 162 before I attached the pitot. (the hole is visible in the nose) It's on now but the kit is hard to get too. I also forgot to take shots of the underside. This AC was with the French for years and became heavily faded and weathered. The photo I had of it was from around 1950. I built it OOB except for the Berna decals. I even used the decal harness. Just to see how it looks. Edited September 11, 2018 by mpk Ivan Ivanovich, Hardcore, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks very much gents. I now know I can complete kits. This makes it far more enjoyable. I have a few on the verge of completion but I have to wait due to family obligations. Two of them are 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Interesting subject matter! Thanks for sharing. I didn't know the French had painted one of these up like that and were flying it well after the War ended. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know the French had painted one of these up like that and were flying it well after the War ended. I think they had 5 or more. I discovered photos of loads of captured He-162's. I think the photo I saw was from 48/9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Superb work Dale, I have a 32nd scale 162 and tempted for the French scheme. Think they had a few Ju 188's in this scheme as well. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
