Why this kit matters

The Heinkel He 162 "Salamander" was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft fielded by the Luftwaffe in the final months of World War II. Designed as an emergency fighter to bolster Germany's dwindling air power, it was notable for its simple construction and use of readily available materials. Despite its innovative design, the He 162 saw limited operational service due to the war's end.

This model kit allows you to recreate a significant and technologically advanced aircraft from the late stages of World War II. The detailed engine provides a unique level of realism. Building this kit provides insight into the design and function of early jet aircraft.

How to use it

This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. Paint and glue are required for a detailed finish. Use modelling tools to carefully remove parts from the sprues and follow the instructions for assembly. Consider researching reference photos to accurately depict the weathering and markings on your model. The detailed engine can be displayed separately or installed in the aircraft. Once assembled, display your HE162A-2 as a tribute to early jet aviation.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
