As I said the cavernous cockpit demands some detail. |

I added the floor and rear of the cockpit with thin plastic sheet. |

How many hours did it take you to build it up to this point ...? |

I have used carbon copy paper (hard to get nowadays) and a soft pencil with good success. But I would agree that the paper method is faster. |

While the Volksjaeger realy did not enter operatonal Luftwaffe service there is some evidence that at least one kill was scored in the little jet fighter. Unfortunately the pilot was shot down and lost while landing. |

While the fuselage is set aside to fill and sand the wings are started. |

The cockpit is cavernous and cries out for some detailing. |

The fuselag with a lot of balsa fill is extremely strong and will require a good bit of sanding and filling. |

Not having luck with other methods I simply copied the plans and glued the print stock to 1/16th balsa sheets with white glue. ex time I will use glue sticks as Mike reccomends. |

While searching the internet for plans that could be downloaded I found these 1/24th scale plans for a 1/24th scale Heinkel He 162A-2 on Mike's free flight site. |
