As the situation became more desperate for the German forces near the end of WWII, a call was made for a new, inexpensive jet fighter that would be simple to produce and fly. In the amazingly short span of 3 months from drawing board to first flight of the prototype, Heinkel produced the small, sporty-looking He162. The lightweight fighter featured mainly wooden construction and was powered by a BMW003 turbojet, which made it the fastest jet fighter of WWII with its 838 km/h top speed. Reaching combat units in late March 1945, the little fighter managed to record some combat successes despite the acute fuel and parts shortage.

  • High-quality assembly kit display model of the He162 A-2 "Salamander" jet fighter.
  • Length: 205mm, Width: 149mm
  • Top-mounted BMW003 turbojet engine with parts for opened and closed engine bay covers to allow full display of internal details.
  • Special dolly is included to display the engine separate from the aircraft.
  • Canopy can be posed in open or closed positions, and the ejector seat is removable.
  • Includes 1 pilot figure and 4 types of markings.
