In styrene - tweak with jet pod and various things like a V-tail.

There is a Dragon He-162D in the stash.   I like butterfly tails for certain applications.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

21st Century sport jet version can have more efficient biz-jet engine. 
For customers with deeper pockets - Optional 25-35 degree swept wings and tail surfaces for 600ish mph speed.   At least 550 mph.

Not really a He-162 but a Hs-132...... with seated cockpit.



apophenia made a version with armoured canopy, but I foolishly did not save a copy before the online source is gone......  :-X

That sounds a bit like something Fio Piccolo would do.   He-162D straight-wing, V-tail, Lear Jet engine, and a composite airframe.  Voila, a sport plane for the wealthy in the Adriatic.   :) :)

A 1950s A-10 for service with the Army Air Corps as an airborne tank buster.  Under fuselage Mollins gun, under wing rockets, JATO, good rough / short field performance.

How about West German style markings and/or Allied WWII markings - I am thinking of the scenario whereby the Hitler Bomb Plot of 20th July 1944 is successful but the Germans only make peace with the Western Allies.  As part of the need to fight the Soviets (with Allied assistance now), a small, easily produced jet fighter is needed.  These serve alongside Dh Vampires at rough forward fields.

Random idea:  He-162 with a Rolls-Royce Derwent instead of the german turbojet?

What about an austere/simplified version for the untrained masses powered by a pulse jet instead of the turbojet?

Which one is more economical, pulsejet or ramjet-rocket combo?  Is there a wide margin of difference?

The float from an Airfix JU 52 fits almost perfectly on a 1/48 Dragon He 162. Don't forget tip floats!

Now that is cool, it really works and looks so believable.  Catapult launch capability too?
