Tamiya 1/48 Me 262


Recommended Posts

According to my records, I started this model nearly five years ago... I have been working on it on and off between other projects, until a year ago when it was almost finished; I just had to paint the figires and make a base - and 100 other things to complete the model. Eventually I picked ut the work a couple of weeks ago, and finally it is finished.

I have used Aires cockpit and wheel wells, Cutting Edge dropped slats and flaps, and Eduard frets. The figures are from ICM, somewhat altered. The markings are rather special, but according to my references fairly accurate. There is almost no weathering on the model, as the aircraft was almost fresh from the factory when the war was over.

Very nice! I love the look of these "captured" birds. I've plans to build a FW190 and Bf109E in RAF markings, and I have German markings for captured Allied aircraft as well.

The base looks very good too, really nice work.
