Started this Revell 1/32 He 162 VolksJager.
The engine is nicely detailed, I played abot with alclad pale burnt iron and burnt iron to give the different colors to the engine's "hot section"
Not sure if it will even be visable after engine is colsed up.

I always find it quite satisfying, making metal out of plastic.

Great job all round the seat looks incredibly uncomfortable did they bring their own cushions to sit on

That seat pan was designed to take the parachute pack that they sat on. Still pretty hard to sit on for long time...

Ta, it has taken a bit if a back seat while I try to complete my Mirage 3 RC for test flight this or next weekend.
I got most of the cockoit completed for the 162, just need to join up the fuselage, when this is dome 70% of the work is done, painting should go quite fast on this one.

All looks great. I'm not sure about sitting with my legs wide open and a bloody great nose wheel in between them. It's almost like the poor pilot was an after thought.

I have to say a heavy rubber wheel spinning at maybe 120 Kts with only a 35tho allu sheet between it and my "soft parts" would make me rather worried! I do like the little window in the well to see if the wheel is up :smiling:
