They both are 1:32 but the 162 is only half the size of 219
These are the only two I have in this scale.

Re: He 162 vs He 219
Great work on the models!
The HE-162 (in reality) is a very tiny plane. I've seen a couple in person on display in England. The example at the RAF Museum in Hendon (north of London) is displayed on its gear where you can get an eye-level view whereas the one at the Imperial War Museum is on a hanging display.
Here's the one at the RAF Museum:
That's a B-25 behind it, for size reference...

Thanks guys.
tmanthegreat, great picture of the real 162. I've never seen both of these models in real life but knowing that the 162 is very small. I believe it's also made mostly out of wood like the Mosquito as material was so limited for Germany at the very end of the war.

Re: He 162 vs He 219
Nice job on both aircraft cnq! The camo is fantastic on the He 219, very nice.
The little guy... ...Volksjager is a cool looking jet, mostly wood and one of the first
to have an ejection seat, an aircraft ahead of it's time.
Keep up the great work !!!
