Heinkel He 162 A-2 Salamander 1/32 is a model of one of the most unusual German fighters of the Second World War. This kit represents the late operational version of the Luftwaffe’s lightweight jet and includes 4 marking options from spring 1945. A great choice for modellers interested in late-war Luftwaffe camouflage, early jets and unusual aircraft designs.
The Heinkel He 162 Salamander was one of the most radical aviation projects of the Third Reich — a lightweight jet fighter developed under extreme wartime pressure, material shortages and collapsing industrial conditions. Intended as a fast and simple-to-build interceptor, it became a symbol of the desperate acceleration of German aircraft programmes in 1945.
The He 162 A-2 was one of the operational combat variants used in the final weeks of the war. For modellers, it is a highly attractive subject: compact in size, yet full of distinctive details — with its engine mounted above the fuselage, mixed wood-and-metal construction and highly varied late-war finishes.
This kit allows you to build 4 striking colour schemes, showcasing different interpretations of late-war Luftwaffe camouflage — from classic green upper surfaces over pale undersides to more unusual combinations resulting from rushed wartime production.
It is a very rewarding project for anyone who enjoys:
- late-war Luftwaffe paintwork and tonal variation,
- combining wooden and metal surface effects,
- restrained operational weathering,
- and the contrast between advanced jet-era design and improvised wartime manufacturing.
