matrixone Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Here are some pics of my other model entered in this GB. I am marking this model as ''white 3'' W.Nr. 120028 Matrixone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mattcooke Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Wow,you've done a fantastic job so far.Really like that pit and the wheel.Great work. Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks again Daniel! This is a very nice kit but not as good as the Hasegawa Bf 109 I am building for this GB. The only real problem with the He 162 kit is choosing markings that other modellers have not used very much, ''white 3'' is not a marking option seen very often so I have a chance to make my He 162 stand out from the others. I have started a second He 162 kit (not for the GB) and will mark that one in Eastern Front ''what-if'' colors. Matrixone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moeggo Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Looking great! I love seeing your work Les! everything always turns out great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thank you Dave! I have most of the decals on the model now and it is really starting to look the part The decals I am using are EagleCals sheet #86, a good product but sadly the decal sheets for the He 162 are not as complete as their decals for the Bf 109 and Fw 190s are.

bilkeau Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Nicely done! And it's not easy making that kit pit look so good. Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Thanks Nick! I don't worry too much about the cockpit areas on my models, I like to spend more time on the exterior finish of them. Here is a pic of the He 162 after some of the decals were put on. This morning I finished adding the rest of the decals and am now weathering the main landing gear and gear doors.

The Mikester Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Sweet! Looks excellent, Les! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matrixone Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks Mikester! My Bf 109G-14 is close to being finished so I won't be working much on the He 162 this next weekend, but as you can see it only needs some light weathering before the final assembly. I might build a third model as part of this GB. Maybe a Fw 190 or Me 262. Matrixone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
