About product

He 162 Salamander: a photo-etched cockpit set, 1:48 scale

An accessory set of photo-etched metal parts for detailing the cockpit of an He 162 model in 1:48 scale. The set holds no plastic parts of the aircraft; it assumes you already have the base Dragon kit. It is one of the more extensive interior sets Brengun makes.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 162 was a German single-engine jet fighter from the end of the Second World War. The jet engine was mounted above the fuselage and, because of the shortage of metals, the airframe had a number of wooden parts. The cockpit is easy to see into on a model, so detailing pays off, especially the sidewalls, the instrument panel and the seat with its belts.

Tips for working it

Work on a light surface and over a space where a small part will not be lost; photo-etched components tend to be smaller than a pinhead. Cut the fret, never snap it. Make the bends in one go and accurately, as repeated re-bending work-hardens the metal and breaks it. Parts that are to be a single shade all over are better painted while still in the fret, which saves handling. Test-fit the assembled cockpit into one half of the fuselage before you glue anything permanently: photo-etched sidewalls add a few tenths of a millimeter on each side and the fuselage may then not close.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the He 162 in 1:48 scale with the cockpit open.
  • Those who want to raise the level of detail without scratch-building modifications.
  • More experienced builders used to working with photo-etched parts and super glue.
  • Modelers focused on jet aircraft of the closing stages of the Second World War.

The accessory set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. The set is sold separately as an accessory; the aircraft kit has to be obtained separately.

Working with photo-etched parts calls for a sharp tool, a bending tool or two blades, and patience. It is not the ideal choice for a first model, but it is after a few kits.

Always dry-fit the fuselage together first. Photo-etched sidewalls add thickness and the inside of the fuselage sometimes has to be sanded down slightly.
