Welcome aboard! I liked this kit as a kid. Haven't seen one since. It really reminds me of a shark. How accurate is the shape of this compared to the real thing?

Thank you Roy, I never built a Matchbox kit but remember them from toy stores as a kid.
I have no idea how accurate the shape is, but I will compare it to the Revell 262 kit. Also the gear bay doors fit perfectly in the fuselage, surprised by that.

In many respects Matchbox were ahead of the game in their 70's moulding technology. I'll settle in for this one....

Looking very nice already. I always thought that Matchbox captured the shapes much better than the old Airfix attempt and it wasn't really bettered until the Hasegawa and Revell versions appeared in the 1990s. Matchbox got a regular slamming for their panel lines, but I'd say the current Airfix kit's panel lines are only fractionally finer than this.

Thank you Neil! I never saw the old Airfix kits in stores here in Revell-Country, rarely there was a Italeri kit to be seen. I also never built an Airfix kit in my life, I hope this is not some kind heresy or something 😉
There are some Airfix kits in my stash and I am looking forward to build them, espacially the Buccaneer and the Harriers.

For the 262 I am going to do the decals today, I hope at least the white 10s are usable. Everything else is replaceable from the Aeromaster "Stürmbird" set. Yes, "Stürmbird", just keep the bird instead of Vogel and replace the U with a Ü to make it more german... 😄 😄

The decals worked better than expected. It seems all the dirt was on the paper. There was no adhesion left, but decal solutions worked pretty good. 🙂

I had fun building this old kit. But i think the next Me 262 will be the Revell one 😉
