Adam Poultney Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Looks good so far. Love the 262. I've only build one, the Airfix 1/72 A variant (I think that was my first build on this forum), and I kinda want to get another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeteOzkar Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi, thank you all for nice comments. After a while and a 5,8 magnitude earthquake, now the engine! I'm planning to make starboard engine open, port one fully closed. Before passing to plumbing/wiring/weathering stage, while she is still under a gloss coat, I'd like to share some progress. Minor modifications has needed. Such as omitting the hydraulic oil pump and closing its place (circle) with a simple cover. There is a part missing in Trumpeter's kit design. I scratch built that part from an acetate sheet and imitated the details from reference pictures. The inner wall of cowling must not be that close. There must be some hollow place according to references. Therefore, I cut/modified the parts, to create such a depth. Left ones are the kit's parts remained untouched for the other engine. See you in next steps... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeteOzkar Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Weekend work: By the help of reference photos + some improvisation... Does anyone have any photos/references/templates of "engine to wing" connection in 1/32 scale..? Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafetyDad Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Here's some pictures of the real thing, courtesy of Nohara and Shiwaku, Aero Detail No.9, Messerschmitt Me262A. Pictures posted for the purpose of study/research. Sorry about my scanner... There seem to be four mounting points (best seen in the centre picture where the two port outer points are clearly visible). This is the Me262 in the Deutsche Museum, Berlin. You have already made the two forward mounting points on your engine Hope this helps SD Edited October 7, 2019 by SafetyDad Additional info 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafetyDad Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 2 hours ago, MeteOzkar said: What is the "letter N" for? I don't know and the book captions don't mention it either. The same engine has additional red code numbers painted on - 859 on the midsection directly behind the "N" and 1308 or 1368 on the opposite side of the engine in about the same location positionwise as the "N" Sorry I can't help more SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Looks like you engine just needs a shot gas to get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimea River Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Shiny or not, that engine is stunning! If you think it's too shiny then a gradual misting of flat clear may do the trick. Personally, I think it looks fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
