Me 262 a1-u1 1/48 HobbyBoss


Epimedium

Recommended Posts

Another Telford purchase, I'm building this one to break up 1/72 felixstowe build as I like to have a couple on the go at one time.

 

Ive used eduard seat belts and stretched sprue for the wires with a heated pin making the hole as drilling was a bit fiddly. The straps for the pedals are tamiya tape. I'm going to button it up and do it out of the box as the plane in question is unlikely to of existed, I've seen the pics of the nose but it doesn't look as though it was ever used. I'll also add the remote rockets as well as a plausible what if. The plan is to do it as a fighter version and leave the nose in an unfinished state so it looks like it's been bolted on in a hurry (e.g. No camouflage added to it), anyone have an idea what colour that would be I'm thinking rlm 70 or it could also be 02 and even aluminum I guess?

The gun sight is mounded in plastic so I cut it off and put a clear piece in. I used the decals for the instruments which went on fine.

A few more updates, things may slow a little as there is some filling to do now but hopefully nothing major. The iconic shape of the 262 is very appealing to me and the engines are certainly a change from propellers!
