He-162 DML
Hi guys, here is the aircraft I want to represent. I like the fact to have parts of the aircraft not painted.
The nose was cut to be displayed alone and to show the front landing gear system.
To improve my model I will use also some PE parts from Eduard.
One fo the gunbays will be open so I had to cut the 'door' on the right side.
The Master metal pitot is great ! It was glued on the nose using superglue.
Here is, also from Master, the gun barrel.
Working on the gun bay I added the main walls with some rivets.
Here the gun bay again with some more details.
Here is to show the place to insert the gun barrel.
Its time to work on the nose, first to create the main wall.
After some rivets the main wall was placed.
Starting with the PE parts in the cockpit....very small PE parts in deed.
At the end it will look like this...
Some rivets inside
So I had also to improce the cockpit sidewalls using some evergreen stripes and sprue.
And finally the PE parts were also placed.
Also the wheels were improved using PE parts.
I had to send them to give weight to the aircraft.
Need to burn the guns now....

I'm also looking forward for this one... In case you didn't knew the putty used on the real plane was early war RLM02 and late war more like RLM66 (maybe paler or inbetween these colors by sanding)
