Tamyia Heinkel HE162 A2 Salamander

By: user72299

This plastic model airplane truly embodies the incredible engineering in this German plane, which was way ahead of it's time. The model itself is detailed and fits together nicely. The finished product is amazing, and with more than one decal configurations, you can chose any way you want the plane to look.
