Heinkel He 162 Salamander (1/32 Revell)
Posted by josé pedro on Monday, November 1, 2010 4:56 PM

Hello all!

Here´s my new project, wich as the original one, has the goal of saving resources.
It`s supposed to be an economical build.
If i feel the need to enhance something, it has to be home fashioned.

Hope you like it!

Here are the first steps!

My best regards!

Outstanding work so far!  Even moreso in that you're superdetailing it the way it SHOULD be done, namely,  " Old School"...

I'll be tracking this one closely... Looking forward to the next installment..

Looking great, fantastic looking belts - always tough in making them look natural, but yours looks very much so.

Stunning work, this model has been on my wishlist for a long time now....time to get it I recon!

Is everything basically out the box with "home made" beits and wire on the engine?? No aftermarket stuff?

If so it just goes to show what can be done without spending a fortune.
