Plastic model kit, assembly required. Glue, paint and finishing supplies not included.

As the situation became more desperate for the German forces near the end of WWII, a call was made for a new inexpensive jet fighter that would be simple to produce and fly. In the amazingly short span of 3 months from drawing board to first flight of the prototype, Heinkel produced the small, sporty-looking He162. The lightweight fighter featured mainly wooden construction and was powered by a BMW003 turbojet, which made it the fastest jet fighter of WWII with its 838km/h top speed. Reaching combat units in late March 1945, the little fighter managed to record some combat successes despite the acute fuel and parts shortage.

High-quality assembly kit display model of the He162 A-2 "Salamander" jet fighter. ★Length: 205mm, Width: 149mm ★Top-mounted BMW003 turbojet engine with parts for opened and closed engine bay covers to allow full display of internal details. ★Special dolly included to display the engine separate from the aircraft. ★Canopy can be posed in the open or closed positions, and the ejector seat is removeable. ★Includes 1 pilot figure and 4 types of markings.

Did not disappoint!
Perfect Fit: Bolted right up to the engine block without any shimmying or modification needed. ​Strong Crank: The motor sounds powerful and turns the engine over significantly faster than my old, dying unit. Once hooked up, the car fired up instantly on the first turn of the key. No grinding, no clicking, just a smooth, high-torque start. Price: A lot more cheaper then your average auto parts stores. ​Build Quality: The solenoid connections are solid and the threads were clean. Packaging: The box arrived on time but a bit beat up, but the starter itself was well-protected in bubble wrap and undamaged.

Still working great!!
I really didn't have a good feeling about ordering a starter online, but I was in a situation where I didn't have the time to get to the auto shop before my day off and Amazon could get me this part just in time. So I reluctantly gave it a shot. When it showed up it had a couple of small black pieces of plastic loose in the box similar to the pieces shown in another review on here. It didn't look like they from anything functional. I really needed to get my wife's car running so decided to install it anyways. The install was easy and it was a perfect fit. The only draw back would be that the signal wire didn't click in place like the signal wire on the original starter. But it was a snug fit. It has been installed and working great for a month now. Very happy with my purchase. It also had a message from the seller when I opened the box giving the starter a 2 year warranty. Very cool. If the starters fails in the next two years I'll get on here and edit my review. So if your reading this then it is still working great.
