In a desperate attempt to get jet powered aircraft into the German
skies, Heinkel designed the “people’s fighter”, the Heinkel He162.
Made primarily off wood, the He 162 was conceived and produced in
100 days.
A unique looking airplane that only equipped one Jagdgruppe, the
markings were surprisingly diverse.
These new decals from Cutting Edge are very colorful. Six airplanes
are included and every aircraft has the national markings for it. If
German airplanes are not your cup of tea (pun intended), this sheet
contains two airplanes in British markings. Being a very late war
airplane the choice of colors is limited but this sheet covers all
the available color options.
Markings included are “Red 1 Nervenklau”, “Yellow 6”, “White 1”
and “White 5”. Every airplane has the red arrow on the nose.
Typical of Cutting Edge decals, they are thin, opaque, and in
register.
Highly Recommended.
