1/48 Tamiya He162 "What If"


Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

 

Finished this one up a few weeks ago, a little what-if build to cleanse the palette and have a little fun. 

 

I built it as an "all metal" Salamander as if there was no aluminum shortage in Germany at the end of the war, panel lines and rivets added, and gave it a speculative scheme in Blue RLM 83 and 76. Consider it a semi-Luft46.

Modifications include:

- Panel lines and rivets added

- Quickboost seat

- Quickboost gunsight

- BarracudaCast main wheels

- Eduard Zoom

- Master barrels, pitot, gear indicator

- Custom masks for markings

- AK Real Colors paints

What a great clean build! I'm not a WHIF enthusiast, although I like real experimental aircraft, and therefore I guess that this perfect build of the He 162 would have looked splendid in the wartime livery, too.

As an unabashed "what if" fan, I love that!  Fantastic scale modeling Brewer, so well done sir!  :worthy:

I'm a big fan of "what if" schemes, too. Here's my reworked-and-massaged HobbyBoss Ta152C-11 in JG.1 markings
