1/48 Tamiya HE 162 Diorama

Post by gerry7944 »

This is the Tamiya 1/48th HE 162 with ICM figures.

I used Tamiya and Vallejo paints and a dark dirt wash on the aircraft to weather and enhance panel lines.

The engine has been enhanced using lead wire for tubes and wires and the cockpit livened up using the Eduard PE set.


The base is scratch built using lolly sticks, DAS clay and static grass. The chocks are scratch built from bits of resin block and lead wire.

Cheers

Gerry

That's amazing. I'd have a lot of trouble painting figures in 1/48 but you've got 'em looking spot on.
