TAMIYA Models Heinkel He 162A-2 Salamander Model Kit

Not built it yet,first impressions,looks good can expect the usual quality from Tamiya kits

A lovely little model, well designed and constructed. Instructions are easy to follow.

Decent kit of an interesting subject. Can't fault it too much, but the fit of the canopy (front piece) could be better. I thankfully had picked up on this from build reviews and did some work to rectify this prior to gluing the piece in-place and going to work with the airbrush. Then only some very minor filling and sanding needed to remove seam lines, job done. Decals were decent too and settled very nicely after some liberal coats of mircosol. Useful addition of a nose weight is nice touch and out of the box, a fine kit for the money. Highly recommended, but watch out for the canopy issue. I've seen many pictures of this model built with a horrible gap where it shouldn't be.

Very nicely detailed model and simple to build. More interesting to paint and the scale provides an excellent size for the model top be viewed.

This is my first Tamiya plane and I suspect it will not be my last. Lovely kit. Some great touches such as including a weight. (Why don't more manufacturers do that?) Really nice build.

Bought for my granddaughter, yes my granddaughter; she loves it. Normal Tamiya quality

Nice kit, as always from Tamiya

Worst Tamiya model I have done, parts just would not fit had to use a lot of filler.Decided to give up when the canopy would not fit.One star for this one unfortunately, but you live and learn.
