Heinkel He 162 A-2 Salamander 1/32

Hobby2000 1/32 pienoismalli, rakennussarja. 

Revell kit with Cartograf decals and masks. 

The Heinkel He 162 Salamander was one of the most radical aviation projects of the Third Reich — a lightweight jet fighter developed under extreme wartime pressure, material shortages and collapsing industrial conditions. Intended as a fast and simple-to-build interceptor, it became a symbol of the desperate acceleration of German aircraft programmes in 1945.

The He 162 A-2 was one of the operational combat variants used in the final weeks of the war. For modellers, it is a highly attractive subject: compact in size, yet full of distinctive details — with its engine mounted above the fuselage, mixed wood-and-metal construction and highly varied late-war finishes.

This kit allows you to build 4 striking colour schemes, showcasing different interpretations of late-war Luftwaffe camouflage — from classic green upper surfaces over pale undersides to more unusual combinations resulting from rushed wartime production.
