I have a same kit and still working on it from years ago Here are my study about difference of He 162 A-1 and A-2 A-1's ejection port is bigger than A-2 and located bit of outside than A-2 And I don't have pic but seat belts are little different than other prop fighters because He 162 equipped with ejection seat I hope I'm not interrupting your thread and sorry my english Pics from Google and Captured Eagle Vol 1 Regards Matsu Edited July 25, 2019 by Shiba Dany Boy and Bruce_Crosby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_Crosby Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi Matsu, I used the belts I had in stock, no big deal as you can’t see them with the canopy closed. Revell got the seat back completely wrong, back cushion too low, head rest too large but again, hardly noticeable. I take your point about the position of the ejection ports, but too late as I decided on the colour scheme half way thru the build. Hope you get your model out and finish it off - the Revell kit is nice and simple and looks pretty good. I’ve started a second model using the Aires parts but that’s way down the list!
