Is there a good prebuilt 1/72 He-162?

After surveying 4 different ones, none really impressed me.

The Easy Model has black upper wing crosses and bizarre iron crosses on the tail....plus there's no u/c up option

The Altaya has the same bizarre iron crosses on the tail plus the underside blue wraps around the leading edge onto the top of the wing....never seen that

The Warmaster colours are awful, especially the green, which appears to be almost a jade green

The Oxford colours are not very accurate and i'm not sure if the shape is right, the wing tips look too angular for one thing.



All thoughs on the matter appreciated.,.,

I'd rate the Easy Model version as the best, AF. I carefully painted over the wing and tail crosses, then applied the right decals.
