Under Jolly Roger...1/48 Messerschmitt Me262A-1a KG(J)54


Recommended Posts

#6/2018

The first pair with a matching fuselage band is finshed. After the Bf109G-14 with a KG(J)54 band, now my dad built this attractive 262. A similar KG(J)6 pair will follow.

Tamiya kit with EagleCals, the fuselage band is painted because the decal didn´t look right. EZ Line used for antenna wires and front brake line.
Kagero and JaPo books for reference

Hello Reini

Very impressive camo, that's an ace, congrats !

I think that some of these birds made it to the JV-44 at the end of the war !

The family shot is very nice too !

Sincerely.

Superb build and finish...as always. Didn't realise a 262 was SO big compared to a 109 (although I imagine that's just me). And I'm always surprised just how modern a fighter it still looks, even after all these years...

the 109 is a small aircraft

yes, the design was very modern and way ahead of its time

 

thanks gentlemen, appreciated very much!

Truly magnificent, as all of your build seem to be. :clap:

 

there are always little glitches, but I try to take the pics in a way so the oopsies aren´t that obvious ;-)

thanks, appreciated!

Excellent model, not least due to the extraordinary camouflage  !!

 

I am only wondering what it has to do with the pirate flag (jolly rogers) ?

Did I miss something ?
