1/48 Dragon Heinkel 162

--------------------

 

This is my Dragon Heinkel 162-A2 in 1/48 scale built mostly OOB with some details added on the engine and painted with Humbrol red brown lightly reduced with white to represent red brown primer applied on several German planes at that time.  I used French Green Humbrol no HF-2 for the engine cover and Tamiya acrylic paint XF-23 Light Blue for the underside.

The model represents a Heinkel 162-A2 of 3/JG1 based at Leck near the Denmark frontier in April of 1945.  White 23 was flown by Oberst Herbert Ihlefeld staffelkapitan of 3/JG1
