Revell 1/32 He162 'salamander'

The wing dihedral looks about right from the pictures Vaughan. As Gregg said, brilliant dry brushing and detailing.

Thanks Guys for comps, small update engine cowlings and wheel bay doors pre-shaded and then sprayed RLM71, RLM76. Next up will be the pre-shaning of the fuselage and wings.

It looks spot on to me and my old glasses / eyes.

 

[Vaughan]

Thanks guys I needed some reassurance on that one. I've spent some time masking off the cockpit, wheel bays and gun bay ready for the first coat of RLM 76 to the underside and fuselage sides. All has gone down well so just need to give it some time to dry off enough work on the top half.

Well the top coat is on I used RLM 71 there's few little areas to touch up. Next up will be a coat of Klear and then onto the decals

Thanks Tom

I managed to find time this morning to get the first coat of Klear down, I've also fitted the front section of the canopy and the nose wheel is now in situ.

Looking great, Vaughan................love that engine detailing!!

Looks good Vaughan

 

[Vaughan]

Thanks Guys,

Started on the decals this morning and have only just finished taking 4 hours in total. I'm happy with the results but always amazed how time consuming they are. Next up will be another coat of klear to seal in the decals and then onto some light weathering.

[Vaughan]

Well she's all but done. I've sprayed the trim tabs red no decals were provided followed by some light weathering. Have just given her a satin coat and unmasked the canopy. Under cart is attached but seems quite fragile most probably due to the added nose weight. Wheel bays, gun door, pitot tube and nose wheel down indicator yet to add. I will post the finished photos in the completed Aeroplane section. Thanks everyone for following my thread and all your kind comments.
