Grunticus Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) In the last few days I have redesigned my modeling room completely. New bench, lighting, layout. Lots more space and light now. The drawers are not installed yet. As we all know no one can finish a half ready kit on a brand new bench (the F-84G, which gave me more grief and was set aside once again). So I’ll start a dual-build of two Bu-131’s soon. Today I did feel like finishing the He-162 first. Notice how I divided the stash left and right so it seems like a normal quantity The new setup: Base markings and Werksnummer have been airbrushed using masks cut with the Silhouette cutter. The rest will be decals from the kit. Sorry for the not so good focus, the new LED light gives my IPhone an issue with flickering shutter. More soon.

HTH, D Well, D Bellis, about this I've sent an email some months ago to the author of the book, but never got a reply. Until we find some real evidence about splinter camod 162s there is only one conclusion: You are quite right!

Grunticus Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) While waiting for the HGW Ki-86 seatbelts I finished up the He-162. It took me quite a while to get the number "23" good enough for the Silhouette cutter. Today I made gunbarrels from serynge needle and painted them gun metal. In the photos below the barrels are not yet in pace but they are now. Here's the end result: A very enjoyable kit it was. Aftermarket is not really needed, the kit is very detailed in the box. Recommended! Edited March 15, 2021 by Grunticus Troy Molitor, D Bellis, ivanmoe and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
