This is not something I have ever thought of doing with a kit but that's a nice result, well done.

Nice build. The colours actually suit the subject and so work really well.

Most unusual but rather nice in an odd sort of way.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Now I've got ten years.
I'm looking at your 262 ..... and it's beautiful.
Sometimes the talent consists exactly in that: try five dozen times when others stop at three dozen...! (F.Labelle)
I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

This kind of modelling really does take you back, doesn't it? A great job. I'll get some pics of mine taken soon.
I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

Very nicely done. Like it was made to be built that way.

Great job and so very nostalgic...I am now just waiting for internet truth to tell us that this is the way that Luftwaffe 262s really were coloured...
