Heinkel He 162 – historical background

The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger, a German single-engine jet fighter, was created at the end of World War II as the so-called "people’s fighter." The aircraft entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1945 and was used almost exclusively by Germany. Its purpose was to reinforce the Reich’s air defense in the final months of the war. The He 162 was characterized by ease of production and a modern design—which made a highly transparent pilot canopy essential to provide optimal visibility during combat flight.

• Exceptionally high clarity and detail, greatly surpassing standard kit parts
• The flexible material allows easy trimming and fitting of the canopy to the model fuselage
