1:72 He-162 Salamander - armament and detail set (MG 151 barrel tips, nose gear indicator and Pitot Tube)

MASTER 1:72 He 162 Salamander: armament and detail set

A set of precisely turned metal parts from the Polish manufacturer MASTER for a plastic model of the Heinkel He 162 Salamander jet fighter in 1:72 scale. According to the name it holds metal MG 151 cannon barrel tips, a nose gear indicator and a pitot tube. It is neither a model nor a kit but a package of detail accessories that replace the corresponding plastic parts.

The real subject

The He 162 was a German light jet fighter of the end of the Second World War, developed in great haste as what was called a people's fighter (Volksjager). Fine metal details of the gun muzzles and the pitot tube markedly raise the realism of a small model.

Use

• Cut off the original plastic parts and clean the surfaces up.
• Pre-drill the holes at the fitting points as needed.
• Glue the metal parts in with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
• The brass can be blackened for a faithful look of the barrels.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want sharp metal gun muzzles and a pitot without distortion.
• Universally for common 1:72 He 162 kits.

This is an accessory for a model, not the model itself. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
