Hi,

Very good rendering. Bravo !
Yes, this plane has been found at the Junkers-Bernburg factory. This is WNr 310027 (All 3100xx are Junkers-built and are He 162 A-1s with MK 108 30mm guns and short barrels not visible through the gun trough, all others being A-2s with MG 151/20 guns with long barrels that you have to remove from your model)
You have to paint black the openings of the chutes. The black polka dots on the fins are actually holes made by small firearms.

Jicehem :-wave
The undersurfaces of the wing ailerons must be the same color as uppersurfaces.

All easily fixed, and I will do so this weekend.

However, I've just spent a few minutes staring at the vertical fins and I don't think those are bullet holes. My reasoning is that there are no marks on the inner skins and the bullets should easily have passed through this lightweight structure.

Thanks, my friend, for the corrections!! :-ok

Thanks for the compliment!

As Jicehem suggested, I've corrected the aileron paint, removed cannon barrels and added ejector chute openings in each gun bay door:

Thanks friends!

This has been so relaxing and easy to construct that I must have another one someday, and your profiles give me options without the red arrow!
