Dear fellow Britmodellers,
here's my 1/72 Airfix Me-262 A2 "Blitzbomber", built with the addition of Eduard photo etch and resin wheels.
Pitot tube from the spares box, brake lines from stretched sprue, and vacu canopy from Rob Taurus.
Painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics.
Photographs by Wolfgang Rabel.
The Airfix Me-262 kit is precise in shape and outlines and features an open landing gear bay (a detail other manufacturers have missed).
Unfortunately, it suffers from fit problems with the engine/wing assembly.
This is not difficult to correct, but comes unexpected on a modern tooling.
I damaged the kit's canopy hood when cleaning up the sprue gates and replaced it with a vacu piece from Rob Taurus (intended for use on the Revell kit).
The mottle scheme (RLM82/83) was airbrushed free-hand.
Thank you for your interest.
Best greetings from Vienna!
