Frog He 162

Post by Stamford »

I remember this one defeating me as a kid as the v tail goes on very twisted. However I seem to have learned a few things in the past 40 years and managed to finish it this time! Used pe scrap for the cockpit and used other bits and pieces to replace the guns and antenna. This came from a charity shop from a mate for 50p so the decals are generic from the spares box. I´ve got the 1/32 revell version so I must like the type!

Very tidy; I have it in the stash somewhere I think (possibly as a mMistral boxing) and this has encouraged me to move it up the list!
Best wishes

That's a sweet build. Nice one.

All the best.

Lovely build of an ancient kit. I do like the open cockpit - gives a really different look.
