The Salamander is a great subject! Looking forward to seeing this one.

I agree

Washed the sprues last night and cut off some of the major parts for test fitting. Hope to start putting on some interior paint in the next day or two.

Nice, I have that kit in the bottom of the back behind the second row under the first ten somewhere in the closet. Be watching this.

Lot of kill marks on the tail, in the first pic, guessing the pilot scored them in other types ?

Looking forward to seeing the plastic. Great reference shots!

Lots of good pictures there and very timely since I'm starting to do the painting on the cockpit, thanks

And all Thoes kill marks were scored in other aircraft. It does look cool though, the only He-163 with kill marks that I've seen.

Glenn, and excellent reference for you here

Yeah, one of the best I've seen on this forum for sure.

It does mate,the pilot earned them so why not display them !

Wow... that referenced build was amazing! Bummed I can't see the final pics though. Reminded me of another great 162 build that I saw on Hyperscale a few years back by a guy named Klaus Herrold.

I've been fighting the main gear well for quite a few days now and finally got it licked. Nothing seemed to fit and it took a couple of big globs of super glue (where it won't been seen) to make the gear legs stable enough to be able to hold the weight of the plane. Defiantly a lot more work here that I thought it would be.

Wile all that was going on I also built the nose gear assembly and painted the wheels and seat back
