Tachikawa Ki-162-III Sanshoouo-Kai-San
1July 8, 2024Thanks to my He 162A11 -project, I had an extra BMW-engine just for this purpose.
2July 8, 2024Engines joined.
3July 8, 2024For the engines to fit better, the fuselage must be widened 2mm. The landing gear bay is therefore sawn in half.
4July 8, 2024The bigger aircraft needs bigger wings. The easiest way was to cut the Lippisch Ohren off and extend the wing tip.
5July 8, 2024Lots of sanding, smoothing and scribing.
6July 8, 2024There is two 1mm thick styrene sheet between fuselage halves.
7July 8, 2024Fuselage forced together.

14July 8, 2024A new canopy needed to be done. I made a model of the canopy from Super Sculpey.
15July 8, 2024Cockpit is done. Because it is a Japanese plane, the cockpit isn't RLM66 but green.

24July 27, 2024Rockets in place. Took from AZ model kit.
25July 27, 2024I didn't put enough noseweight inside during assembly, so I had to fill the nose gear bay with tungsten balls...
