They haven´t been far away from a major breakthrough. The Reichsmaterialprüfamt had not that much options but an improved tinadur as well as a steel based alloy was in test phase for the turbine wheels. Nethertheless it would increase the weight in any case....
They had the right ideas and everything but as was stated supplie of materials was not eneogh.

The Heinkel company envisaged an He 162 variant powered by Argus pulsejets in the event that normal jet fuel was in short supply.
At last - another thread revived out of the dark past!
Vahe, did you build this model? Cool! What scale is it: 1:48 or bigger? Who's the manufacturer? Are the Argus-engines aftermarket or "from scratch"? What paints did you use? IMHO the RLM 76 is a tad lighter, but that could be my computer - what do you think? What does the marking M 42 represent? Are the Balkenkreuze and the Svastika decals or painted? There is no Werknummer (serial) on the tail - do you know a possible matching Werknummer (W.Nr.) for this particular a/c? Can you show the underside of the model as well?
