colt6 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi, After my swiss Bf 109 G-6, I will try to build the He 162 in a "last ditch" edition After founding pictures from Klaus Herolds He 162 model and a few mails with him, I am happy to have a great guide. For sure I know, I never will reach him. But hey, you cant always be perfect Also I ordered a few aftermarket goodies from CMK, Eduard and Aires. So lets start with the engine: The first wires come into place. and more wires I know the wires are not very straight on my engine, but hey, I'm getting old!

RalphSarc Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Looks pretty damn good to me, lol!! Excellent job!! I see what looks like clamps on hoses and wire bundles, what did you use to make those? Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt6 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Now a little cockpit painting. My main problem is: I paint and paint and it get darker and darker I fell in love with HGW Arno 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I wish the seat-belts came with better instructions. I've looked on YouTube for a how to review but haven't seen one! Cockpit really looks great and the seat-belts make it pop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efrick Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looking good Arno! All the plumbing on the engine is convincing! The cockpit is lovely as well...I really like the leather effect you achieved on the headrest and cushion on the seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt6 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I really love the Aires main wheel bay, but I still have trouble to handle my airbrush, to lighten some parts up and make shadows in the corner. Also the washing is something I have to learn. And make one of the larger hoses new. I know there are four clamps and I have only three, but hey, those are the last war days and we are running out of those stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt6 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think I let it be now: I'm not really happy with the silver painting, maybe I have to thin it more? Arno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
