Animalmother Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Well after a couple of months messing around with a few Braille Scale Aircraft I'm back with the He 162. Now I have a few idea's for this one which include building it as a Fictional Aircraft rather than an actual Plane. It's going into a Dio of an abandoned He 162 on the edge of a Wood being discovered by Allied Forces. I've also decided on a different Colour Scheme for it and may use some of Uschi van der Rosten's Wood Grain Decals on the upper surfaces of the wings. I know that the Example above is a Swept Wing Concept but what the Hell, I like the paint job. I'm also waiting on an Aires Cockpit and a CMK Engine Detail Set, so there should be plenty to look at.

Animalmother Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm sure that some of you will have one of these in your stash as there not expensive and Revell have really pulled out all the stops over the last few years. Anyway here's some Sprue shots of the 162 Â Â Â Â Â Â Only Five Sprues, so its not a complicated kit, but what is there is nicely molded with recessed panel lines, theres a hint of flash here and there but thats no big deal. The instructions call for 25g to be put in the nose but as we're going to use a resin engine I'll may have to up the weight. The Decals are nice but lack the Swastikas as usual, I'll be going through my Decal Stash to up the interest of the markings. Also as I said earlier I'll be using Uschi van der Rosten's Wood Decals on the wings. In the next post we'll look at the Aries Cockpit and the Engine Set. Andy.

LSP_Kevin Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Looking forward to your progress Andy. This kit is on my wishlist, but so far I haven't managed to score one. But as you say, they're cheap enough, but in the meantime I have an old vac He 162 to build! Â Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTR Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I seem to remember that there is a conversion set for a V-Tail out there... Â ...anyways, its surely a nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbadur Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 have a look to this page for the V-tail  http://www.dp9.com/fusion/KitPages/3201.htm  regards Alfons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalmother Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Interesting looking mod but I think I'm gonna go with the Kit Tail on this build and I may cut out the Flaps so I can lower them slightly. It was just the Paint job I was gonna copy as most 162's look kinda bland with only the Red Arrow to lift them. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalmother Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Today the Update/Detail Sets turned up and I couldn't be more pleased. Both sets are packed with enough detail to keep anyone happy, now I have to be very careful not to loose any while cutting and sanding. The Aires Detail Set has Cockpit, Main Wheel Well and Weighed Wheels. The CMK Set has everything for a fully Detailed Engine and Engine Compartment. Now to start Building this Beauty.
