Revell He 162

[TimHepplestone]

Calling it finished. Revell He 162. First time using MIG paints which I must say spray beautifully. OOB except for some Eduard etch in the cockpit. Left wing left "unpainted" to represent its wooded construction. Call it artistic licence.

Very nice Tim, I really like the unpainted wing too!

How did you do the "unpainted" part?

[Troy Molitor]

Well done Tim.  Looks great.

Looks like brown oils over ochre base.

As said oils over base coat of acrylics. I used tamiya flat flesh, buff, and deck tan to create “panels” The. Burnt umber, and a mix of dark red and brown oils dragged across the surface. Light coat of tamiya clear orange to seal it

It looks very good, thanks for the info guys.

Lovely work on the 162! The unpainted wing looks great. I want to add one of these to my German jet collection but I can’t find the kit anywhere.

Nice looking Salamander!  The jet engine looks nice with the added wiring bits and so on.

Thanks Sophie. Picked it up second hand from a Facebook group. One of the few valid reasons for Facebook’s existence
