shadowmare Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Revells new night Schwalbe. Unfortunately it is not a "shake and bake" kit. Panels near the radiooperator seat requires work to fit into cockpit sides. All plastic parts needs a little bit of cleaning before gluing, not everything is moulded nice (holes in landing gear...). Instrument panel should be lower to not interfere with front part of canopy. Clear parts must be polished because of nasty bubbles on the surface. Fortunately kit is a very nice (some say best) representation of Me-262 in plastic . Additions: - Eduard interior and seatbelts. Mask for canopy. - Master FuG 218 Radar - Montex masks for Trumpeter kit (i don't recommend, size of numbers is wrong) I added some cables here and there and riveted surface. Pitot tube is made form syringe needles. I used Tamiya paints, Gunze Gun Chrome and C08 Silver, Alclad on droptanks, MIG rigging for antenna wire, oil paints and Tamiya weathering master set.

Spad Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Really nice build there! Lovely cockpit work. Great feedback on the build and those Master antennae look fab. Thanks for showing - not my normal scale but this inspires me to look again at the kit! ATB Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Wow, that really is a stunner. Fantastic work on the camo scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrardandrews Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Brilliant looking 262, and great new kit, and you have nailed it, I've got trumpeter single seater, so keeping powder dry, I've also got Dragon 🐲 1/48 kit, and few other kits of said subject. One for Airfix to do in 1/24, it would sell, strange enough, Tamiya in 1/32, would to go with their Mosquito 🐲 😎 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Very nice! Great overall finish. I'm building the same a/c at the moment in 48th scale, do you have any photographic evidence of the presence of the werknummer on the tail? Remy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Excellent representation of the type. My first ever conversion was one of these from the old Revell 1/72 using a conversion kit, so I have a soft spot for this type. Yours is infinitely better than my effort - one to be proud of.
