1/48 Tamiya Me262A-1a "Green 4"

[Brewer]

I'm on a roll, #6 for the year with a late start after moving house in January. This one has been on my to-do list for years and I finally got around to building it. My first Tamiya 262, and as expected it was just as good of a kit as I've always heard. Just added a seat, instrument panel, and wheels.

Wonderful rendition of this famous plane. I think it was finally worth to build this kit.

great work

[Hairy Stickler]

Superb rendering of one of the few jets that I would consider building (but wouldn't it look so much better with a couple of propellers)?!!

 

Thanks very much for sharing.
