A pair of 1/48 Me262s


Recommended Posts

Firstly the Dragon Me262A-1a. Not the easiest kit with some poor fit in places. Lots of detail and some very small etched metal parts. Finished with Hataka and Vallejo colours in an RLM 76, 81 and 82 scheme with decals of Yellow 5 KG(J)6 from Xtradecal sheet 48-179.

Secondly the Hasegawa/Dragon Me262B-1a. Essentially the same kit as the A-1a with some extra bits. Again finished with Hataka and Vallejo colours. Decals again from an Xtradecal sheet.

Both good builds. The paintwork on the Me 262B was particularly good. Did you have any issues building it? 

Particularly around the nose area. 

Thanks for that. No real issues around the nose. The etched metal aerials needed a bit of care though. They are very fine.

Good looking Schwalben!

 

And good to note the absence of black 'panel joints', since they were puttied and sanded to help gain every ounce of speed advantage over the prop driven competition.

 

Kind regards,

Indeed. I'm not a great fan of panel washes at the best of times.
