Reini78 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 #21/2016And my dad´s factory output goes on. This time another Luftwaffe chapter that is connected with our home region. About 30km away from our hometown there was a He162 underground facility in Hinterbrühl. Besides that, the 162 maiden flight took place also 30km away at the Schwechat Airbase (now the Vienna International Airport) on Dec. 6th 1944 where the testpilot Gotthold Peter reached over 800km/h. On Dec. 10th 1944 during the official presentation flight the aircraft partly disintegrated and Peter died in a fatal crash.Tamiya kit with Kagero decals from their mini Topcolors 37 "Last Hope of the Luftwaffe" including some nice profiles made by fellow Austrian and Hyperscaler Simon Schatz. Super-Fabric seatbelts from Eduard, model painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.The model shows and a/c 1./JG1 in May 1945 where the whole unit surrendered to the Brits and GIs 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo1112 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Very convincing "Volksjäger"!! Great job!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Another fine build, I really like the part painted look. I have the same book and intend doing a similar one in 1/72 scale but having built the Dragon kit before I know it is a bit of a struggle.

Roman Schilhart Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Rather ugly little duckling, but built to an amazing standard. I particulary admire the paintwork, looks marvellous. Thanks for the background story as well. #cheers from VIE# Roman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vh-bob Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You have captured the "Panic " to get this deadly little fighter into service perfectly, well done. Like Duncan , I too have one planned in 1/72 but will use the lovely Hobby Boss kit. Great Work, Trev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
