Focke Wulf Ta-183
He-162 Seat from Quickboost
Decals from the spearbox
A bit of wiring of the instruments
The air inlet ( Quickboost) required filler and a lot of sanding!
But it offers a view up to the first compressor stage, and not just a "flat dent" like the kit part!

Instead of the planned 4 rockets, I preferred 2 additional tanks
First tests with AK colors...
Gunze acrylic is a bit more delicate to work with!

The markings were created using self-plotted masks using airbrushing
The chessboard pattern could be depicted with the help of the very fine kit decals, which were perfect to work with despite their age!
Various decals from the sparebox provided the maintenance instructions
Painting of the R4M rockets:
Gloss black with Vallejo steel;
Light brown acrylic covered with oil paints to represent the wooden parts

You did a great job with this little jewel. Really admire the detail and paint scheme you put into it. Well done.

Nice work! I really like the wood-grain wings of the missiles and the clean checker-board nose.

I thank you for your praise!
The really good kit makes the path to the beautiful result much easier.
It's a shame that the manufacturer didn't add a few more kits...
