I recently
bought my first digital camera, so this is kind of a ¨test subject¨ model.
I'll provide a better background in future articles, as I'm just getting
started with my camera.

This one is my
version of the He-162 A-2 coded ¨White 5¨ flown by Hauptmann Helmut Künnecke,
Staffelkapitan of 1./JG1. The model was built basically OOB, with just some
minor part replacements, and some extra tubing and wiring.
I added some
seatbelts (made from alumminum can) and harnesses (some regular lighting
cable), besides that some extra wiring was added on the upper part of the front
panel. For the engine (it looks very spartan if you build it just OOB),
I checked some for adding some extra wiring and some styrene tubing to
make it look more realistic.

Some copper wiring was
added to the landing gears to simulate brake lines, also some wiring on the loop
antenna, as seen in some reference pictures.
The overall painting was the
standard RLM 76/81/82 from Model Master Enamel, after that some weathering was
added with oil paints and pastel chalks.
