Hi, This model is a long time with me. I made it for the first time, as OOB in 1976 or 1977. Then, in 1997 I decided to make an upgrade - I "separate" parts (simply - used force and broke it into pieces), wash it from paints with NaOH and made it again. The background was that in this time a monography of He 162 Volksjager (better known as Salamander ) was issued in my country (by J.Ledwoch - "Heinkel He 162...", issued by "Militaria", ISBN 83-86209-68-2, Warsaw, 1997). Lecture of this book made my mind to do this rebuild....I made some small corrections to some original Frog parts...The emblem is hand painting on decal. The markings are of course, from a profile from this book, and it is He 162 A1, of a commander of II/JG,1 Hptm. Paul Heinrich Dahne, Leck airfield, May 1945. Comments welcomed Regards Jerzy-Wojtek Have a Happy New Year!
