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.

A new Hobby 2000 delivery has just arrived. This time it brings three very different subjects, each with its own historical and modelling weight: two variants of the Heinkel He 162 Salamander in 1/32 scale, and a new edition of the K2 Black Panther in 1/35. It is an interesting combination. On one side, a late-war jet born out of urgency and collapse; on the other, a modern main battle tank that...
