Post by TimJ »

Having looked at my varied selection of Me 262s I'll be building the Revell 1/72 B1-a/U1.

Preliminary piccies. :grin:

I've got this kit. Built it 2 years ago but lost the nose antennas so its been sitting unfinished ever since. i look forward to seeing how yours comes out. That paint scheme from the box art took me forever to do.

I'm getting to the point where I may have to do just that. I'll get there eventually

Now that the Peugeot and Tomcat are finished I can get on with the 262. So far the engines and wings have been assembled and the fit has been very good, the engines could be clipped in place. There were a couple of small sink marks on the upper surfaces of the engines but apart from that I've had no problems so far.

I'm thinking of opening up the wheel wells to show the interior detail.
