Contact-Résine 1/32
He 162 Super Detail Set

The Revell/Germany 1/32 Heinkel He 162 Volksjager is a beautiful kit straight out of the box, and with the exception of the super-detailed Trimaster offering in 1/48, the Revell kit is the nicest offered in any scale. I remember when this kit was first announced and the long anticipation that followed. On opening the box, what was inside was nice and workable, but leave it to the aftermarket world to one-up the masters.

Contact Resine has stepped up to the challenge with this beautiful super detail set. This set consists of 22 resin parts, a photo-etch fret, and a decal sheet with flight instruments for the photo-etched panel. Also included is a full-color instruction sheet that should be the standard that all hobby companies should follow - easy to read and follow! Nice job Contact Resine!!

This set provides a completely new port side gun bay, a replacement cockpit with an exquisite ejection seat, and of course a new nosegear well (part of the cockpit). The set also includes replacement ailerons, rudders, and elevators. The trim tabs are also provided as photo-etched parts.

It is hard to believe that you can improve on a nice kit, but Contact Resine has taken the beautiful Revell/Germany kit and turned it into a masterpiece.

This detail set is highly recommended! You can purchase this set online from Design & Marketing International.

My sincere thanks to Design & Marketing International for this review sample!
