Additional informations:

In 2014 I was asked to to some He162 profiles for an exhibition in the Zeltweg Aviation Museum. So I decided to draw one profile to show the construction and materials that were used for the He 162. The wooden surfaces are for sure not in the right scale.

Here the poster of the special exhibition at Fliegerhorst Hinterstoisser (Hangar 8), Zeltweg:
