One of Hobby Boss´s very nice 262 kits, engineering and fit are Tamiya-like. Model was built oob, seatbelts and antenna wire added, Gunze Acrylics used, 74/75/76 camo on the early 170xxx Me262 series. The Werknummer came from the sparesbox because the kit doesn´t provide one.
The model shows the V056 which had different lookings during its career and was used mainly for aerodynamic tests concerning the later two-seat nightfighter. This is my father´s interpretation of how it could have looked around March ´45. He spared the wool threads on the black tail, not enough nerves for that work happy.gif

Same kit as above but in the livery of Rudolf "Rudi" Sinner´s a/c, III./JG7, Brandenburg-Briest, March 1945

Chose this scheme because it looks cool and Sinner was one of the Austrian aces in the Luftwaffe.

Hobby Boss kit Me262A-1a/U3 recon version built oob, NAGr. 6

The nose gun broke off during assembly and was replaced with a piece of an injection needle. My dad wasn´t completely satisfied how the camo turned out, maybe he is building the model again some day.
