Hello again everyone, today I will be building Tamiya's 1/48th scale Heinkel He-162 A-2 'Salamander', also known as the Volksjager in Luftwaffe service at the end of world war two.
I haven't really looked into the history of this kit, but I suspect it is either newer or mid-life Tamiya. The fit is incredible, almost no putty is needed and what putty was used was almost certainly a result of my own faulty building.
I had been poking at this one for years- I think I started building it like three years ago, and then got to primer, and then shelved it because I lost the canopy. But HUGE ups to Tamiya NA, because they got me a replacement clear sprue at no cost to myself even though it was absolutely my own fault for losing it.
As with everything from this run of builds I selected one major thing to try and work on in this project, and for this one it was an honest effort at post shading. So this became a vehicle to experiment with that, and I am quite satisfied with the result. Post shading isn't the easiest thing for a beginner to attempt, and to do it you basically need to possess and be confident in using an airbrush. I think mine are a bit too heavy, but for my first shot at this technique I think it's a decent result. I will continue trying this in the future on kits that I think would be best served by it.
I HAD a list of the music in this one, but I lost it. I'll try my best. See the pinned comments for the paint mixes I used.

Add Buff to suite your tastes. Credit goes to Bernard Kugel, whose mixes I really like for everything but japanese colors, and even then it's not because they look wrong, I just think the guy I have begun to steal from for those does them even better.
Wondering what did you use on the bottom of the fulesalage? Was it smoke tamiya acrylic paint or something else
@@jaredgunn2907 Gun-and-exhaust smoke is typically highly thinned mix of tamiya black and red brown.- like 95% thinner.
Currently building this one as my first kit that I'm actually painting.
And it's a blast!
Your video gave me good guidance and inspiration.
Glad to hear it!
I’m making this kit right now in tandem with a 1/48 me 262. What luck for you have both planes covered.
Most modelers over weather their kits. In the case on the he- 162, they were practically brand new. And a lot of the fuselage was actually wood. Most aircraft were found new, parked in hideouts with empty gas tanks.
i would say it's your best modell so far👍
it is certainly a contender
Its nice seeing you again i hope you can get more builds soon.
New vid sometime between now and wednesday.
AAAh I actaully just ordered this one! Great timing!!
I'm sure you'll enjoy the build!
For smoother paint, try using Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. Thin your paint 50/50 with this thinner. Yes, this is a lacquer thinner, but it works very well with Tamiya acrylics. For the Tamiya decals, you need their Mark Fit Strong decal solution.
I just started using Mr Retarder Mild and that's helped a ton; I thin with Tamiya's Lacquer thinner. I'll give Mr. Color a try after I run out.
My issue with these decals wasn't really snugging into things, but pure thickness. I think it handled the panel lines pretty well, I can just see the edges very pronounced on the completely flat wings.
@@TheWaggishAmerican try sanding with 2000 grit sand paper over a clear coat
I've waited way too long for this xD
You certainly did! I think you commented like two years ago when you could see the box in a pic of my workspace, right?
Hope it lives up to the wait in at least some way lmao.
@@TheWaggishAmerican Yeah exactly, You even lived up to it. Props to you man!
Nice kit, but the pilot figure looks bored to tears. Like he's waiting for a bus 🚌
the german marching gets very tiring in all your builds
*all of my german builds.
You are probably right but idk what else to use. Copyright free music almost universally is terrible AND sounds identical.
i am planning to cut it down to 1, 2 songs max in the future just to make copyright dodging easier.
@@TheWaggishAmerican just look at the other youtubers you'll get the idea. 😃
What’s almost as impressive as this build is you can actually pronounce ‘Tamiya’ correctly.
Do others not? How is it commonly incorrectly said?
Also thanks!
@@TheWaggishAmerican most Americans say “Tam- meeeya”. I have an Australian friend who can speak Japanese and she pronounces it like we do “Tammy-ya”.
It’s trivial but makes me laugh when I hear it.
Ta • me • yuh
Not tammy-ya
