Reini78 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 #14/2021 All good things come in three, so here´s my dad´s third and last 262 for now. Hobby Boss kit, "712" decals from Kagero book "Messerschmitt Me 262 In Defence of the Third Reich", rest of decals from the sparesbox, painted with different MRP metal colours, simulated all the filler stuff by airbrushing different grey tones. Brake lines and seatbelts added, EZ Line used for the antenna wires. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235091248-naked-bird148-messerschmitt-me262a-2a-jv44/ In May 1945 the rest of JV44 ended up in Tyrol/Austria. A bunch of 262s and other aircraft, standing and lying around in the mountain valleys, partly destroyed, have been captured there by US troops. Can´t tell if this aircraft was an A-1 or A-2. It had racks like an A-2 but four gun openings like an A-1.

hopkp Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Very nice-looking model! Edited May 19, 2021 by hopkp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic Mike Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 The 262 just looks *years* ahead of anything the Allies were fielding at the time. The Meteor would be the closest, I suppose, but it looks like a previous generation! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Good interpretation of an "unpainted" aircraft. Looks like the painter stopped after pre-shading! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Very impressive in every kind of way. That's model building well mastered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'm sure I've seen photos of this before the real aircraft that is not the model. Looks great by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Without doubt one of the most convincing takes on this "color scheme". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Again lovely work by your dad. I think it could be nice idea to show the whole collection of all 262 your daddy have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerR. Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 This is a very good result. I tried to do her sister-ship 711 a while ago : Before that I thougt it to be an easy job: NMF allover, thearafter the front and part of the tail in RLM02. Then some brushed-on putty and that`s it. But it wasn`t. You used a slightly different approach on 712 and the outcome is very convincing. Congratulations on a hard job! Volker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, three kits are still in the stash, maybe when all are built I do a family portrait 🙂 On 5/22/2021 at 2:30 PM, woody37 said: Brilliant paint job and refreshingly different On 5/22/2021 at 2:54 PM, VolkerR. said: This is a very good result.
