In the amazingly short span of 3 months from drawing board to first flight of the prototype, Heinkel produced the small, sporty-looking He162. The lightweight fighter featured mainly wooden construction and was powered by a BMW003 turbojet, which made it the fastest jet fighter of WWII with its 838km\/h top speed. Reaching combat units in late March 1945, the little fighter managed to record some combat successes despite the acute fuel and parts shortage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eHigh-quality assembly kit display model of the He162 A-2 \"Salamander\" jet fighter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eLength: 205mm, Width: 149mm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eTop-mounted BMW003 turbojet engine with parts for opened and closed engine bay covers to allow full display of internal details.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eSpecial dolly included to display the engine separate from the aircraft. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eCanopy can be posed in the open or closed positions, and the ejector seat is removeable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eIncludes 1 pilot figure and 4 types of markings. （Images below show prototype.）\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37649936744614,"sku":"TAM61097","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/tamiya-61097-1-48-he162a2-salamader-fighter.jpg?v=1611710163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/tamiya-61097-1-48-he162a2-salamander-fighter","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
