About product

Heinkel He 162 A-1 Salamander 1:32 (Hobby 2000)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German Heinkel He 162 A-1 Salamander jet fighter in 1:32 scale from Hobby 2000. It is a rebox - the injection-molded plastic comes from a Revell mold, which Hobby 2000 issues in a new package. The set is complemented by 3D printed muzzle ends of the MK 108 cannons, good decals (printed by Cartograf) and masking templates. The A-1 version differs from the later A-2 in its armament.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 162 was a single-engine jet fighter developed at the very close of World War II under a program for a simple and cheap people's fighter. It was characterized by the jet engine mounted above the fuselage behind the cabin, by wooden structural items owing to the shortage of metals, and by the pilot ejection seat. The aircraft came into being in an extremely short time and reached combat service only to a limited extent. It got the nickname Salamander from the cover name of the production program.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with a thin modeling cement for plastic and sand the joints of the fuselage and the engine nacelle carefully. Use the masking templates supplied for a clean separation of the cabin frames; separate and deburr the 3D printed cannon muzzle ends carefully before gluing. Apply a primer before painting; the late war German camouflage comes out best with an airbrush and soft color transitions. Apply the Cartograf decals onto a gloss clear coat and seal them with a matte overcoat.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of German jet hardware (Luftwaffe 1945) in the large 1:32 scale
  • modelers interested in experimental aircraft of the end of World War II
  • builders who will appreciate the extra accessories (3D print, masks, Cartograf decals)
  • moderately advanced as well as experienced modelers

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
