Tamiya 1/48 German Heinkel He162 A2 "Salamander" Kit

The He162 was a single-engine jet fighter that was simple to control and produce during the World War II. It was a mass producible jet that could be flown by relatively inexperienced pilots. Rushed from proposal stage to finished prototype in 3 months, it was first deployed with only 1 month left until the end of the war in Europe, thus came too late to demonstrate its combat potential.
