Welcome Mates and nice to have you here
It will start with the Revell kit skill level upwards to the J9N finally

I am assuming that the smaller one is the Kikka? Please add explanations to the photos.

Is this the actual group build? 😄 or a group build within a group build?
In any case, watching! 👍

@wlcome mates and i hope you will enjoy this
@skywalker i named them already 🙂 you see the names lefthand of the fuselagehalves.
and yes the kikka is the Bonsai Schwalbe 🙂
@Slavo second 🙂 Sometimes i don't know what i'm doing 🙂

I tossed together an Airfix kit a couple of decades ago. This has been my favourite aeroplane of all time. It was a good offensive platform like the mosquito, only a hundred or so knots faster.

The quickboost engine is a beauriful casting, I have one in my stash too, for my Revell a3. Did you open the landing gear bay on this one?

Welcome John, yes they were both kind of a benchmark as weapon platforms.
@Jan, yao it is, unluckily the Canpoy Part by Revell is not or not anymore. Unusable 🙁 pics 7,8
The tool cannot lie about its age anymore...
No I will not open the gearbay...Iam a bit pissed now cause of the canopy part...
So just forget about the built order by skill increasing with each kit🙂

Hi SPanjaard, welcome and thanks mate.. I already got vac-canopies by Falcon, but i'd better did dryfit before, and am a bit angry about myself

I had the same problem with the Revell canopy not fitting well. As I recall it was thinner on one side than the other.

@Skywalker yap now i find many reports about the canopy issue and that the main gear legs are too long with the revell kit.
@Spanjaard..yap do it before the start 🙂

Yes, the canopies of the Revell kits are ridiculously bad. A shame really, as it isn't too bad as a whole.

i just checked my two 262 from Revell... cockpit is basically crap for one, and i seem to have lost the decals for the other ... well, both can be resolved.

I like white 19 as a choice. It's a Kommando Nowotny aircraft I think if the photo date is Dec 44 as EJG2 was disbanded in Sept and its planes passed to Nowotny. The tailfin with its stencilled camo on an almost white version of 76 is someting I have wanted to try and reproduce, but not got round to yet. I think some say these tailfins were trials of a version made from wood? I'm sure someone here knows more?

Daniel, I'm sorry that luck is not on your side with the Revell canopy as well as the Lightning canopy. I hope the one from Falcon solves the Revell's problem. Quickboost's engine looks great!

Interesting project, I´m looking forward for the results and final comparison. I´ve got just one from Academy I hope it will not be the worst
. Concernig Revell canopies I replace them with vacu every time I can find some vacu for them.

The Academy kit seems to look better than the Airfix, which is kind of surprise to me. Cockpit in particular. Is it just me or?😉
Pity they don't make the double-seater.

Hi mate! The details are muggy and not crisp at all! But the biggest issue are the somewhat bulky locator pins and the different thickness of the wings etc
Much cleaning material takeaway and rescribing is necessary to get the parts together!
Thank god i kept the fuselage halves of the nightfighter from an earlier release! They are much better!

The Academy's Kit looks bigger than Revell's. Is it for the perspective in the pic or is it really greater?

Hi Mates, Thanky you and too much blessing and honor Greg but sounds like a lovely melody in my ears.Thanky mate 👍
@Cuajete and Guy Thank you and no it is a perspective issue. see latest pic
The main mistake Acadamy (left one) made was to bulge the middle of the plane too much.
The tail is equal rather a little bit thinner than Revells but cockpit section onwards it is getting eggy.. 🙂

That Quickboost Jumo 004B looks really cool. An it is not expensie at all ..
A liitle bit of detailpainiing and drybrushing and it will make further improvement i assume

Hi Guuilleaume, Guy and Juergen..many thanks for your kind words and interest.
But i am close to explode...
Who the F+ck at Airfix engineered those nacelles to win mounting?
That is ridiculous and i am somewhat willing to throw the whole thing into the trash.
I read about but could not imagine it that bad and misshaped.
Sorry that is really a big issue for a modern kit at this price.

@Jan yap but in terms of fit and building fun it is good.
@Skywalker
Hm my personal order in terms of quality, fit and fun would look like
1. Academy 2. Revell 3. Airfix
in terms of shape and correctness:
1. Airfix 2. Revell 3. Academy
For me the first category is much more important so i would say Academy is the winner so far

The airfix isn't that bad, but it should have been more detailed.
It has some great detail in the cockpit, yet misses the armoured glass and the canopy release bars. The lack of fine details like the Revell kit do have makes the airfix kit a bit toylike by comparison.
Overall the fit is decent, yet the nacelles are a pain in the *.
I have the sturmvogel and nightfighter kits in my stash, but I now know what to expect

Not that bad but for the newest Release it is the only one that lacks of the seatbelts for example.
And the nacelle mounting is a really big issue for a mainstreamproducer that does not have experts as a target group. 🙂 And i cant imagine how no one of the quality control could have missed that failure...
The fuselage halves fits superbly and the wings itself too that is correct.
And without the nacelle thing this could have been a real cool kit, and the best 262 around.

Hi Guys after a break caused by health issues (Borrelia that comes now and then without a warning),
my Doc thinks it is a souvenir of my time in the army in the mid 90s) Those creepy little bastards can sleep for decades in your body especially in ones neural system, and coul cause many types of neurological issues) But you can fight it easily with special Antibiotics. But it will never disappear if you once catched them. It is not lifethreatning though it could feel like it does. 🙂
But now it is getting better and i Started with the Airfix Swallow preshading and base colouring.

Thank you Roland, Jan, Cuajete and Roberto👍
Yeah i am taking care of myself but my Velocity gun killed another nozzle.
Result is spitting and sprattling but no big deal to handel once the green finish is added.
This could be such a great tool with a more rigid nozzle installation.
You have to be so careful while cleaning and reassembling the cone. aargh
@Alec..still got a cage full of Swallows to handle with first 🙂
@Frank ne die Dosierung und Zusammensetzung ist unterschiedlich.
Und das ist so schwach dosiert und drängt sie ja auch nur zurück.
Man muss das auch 3 wochen nehmen

Your KiKa has far less filler on it than mine, indicating you did your prep work a lot better

ACJ10 Kawanishi Green, WEM Colourcoats Satin, Enamel, 14ml
The tone is nearly peect for 1/72 but though i thinned it 70/30 it swallowed nearly all the preshading.

One through the line 👍 looking great & I think while the loss of the pre-shading may be less spectacular from the model perspective, it´s probably one-up for the actual realism! 🙂

Hmm.... Seems Kamikaze the Divine Wind is not ready to accept your offering of the Kikka jet fighter...😉 😄
Good you put it together with reasonable "Sollbruchstellen" - seems salvageable! 👍

"A gust of wind"... that's a good one. That's what I'm going to call my left elbow from now on...

That's a quick recovery! 👍 In my case it would be the right elbow, but love the nomenclature 😄

I'm glad that Kikka has recovered from the gust of wind and has taken flight.

Good to see it being salvaged, I know EXACTLY how it feels to see an almost finished bird dive off the table.......
No sign of damage visible any more, good work Daniel !

Hi Lukasz, yap but i will do this for the academykit, which Fuselage panels are also much too deep.
The Me 262 Body was in fact smooth and clean like a baby popo...
It should be though it was made for min slipstream ..
@Roland yap thank you James, though i must amit it takes time to get used to work with the EVolution
and Gunze colors with such detailpainting.
My old Badger Velocity was a charm in that Discipline, but the construction o the nozzle forced me to change the tool. I so not want to spend a 100€ a year for new nozzles and needles.🙂

Get the pressure control thingy for the Evolution, you'll love it.
I'm just glad my shop informed me today that the Airfix kit was out of stock and they replaced it with the Academy kit. Next week...
Your squadron is looking good Daniel 👍

Ausgezeichnet Bauen! Nice review of all the kits. I have the Revell, Mpm, Trumpeter, and Airfix kits just for fun as my serious builds are the TSM versions in 1/32 (A-1a, A-1a heavy armament, A-2a, B-1a, and A-1a clear), HpH and Hobbyboss A-1a in 1/18, and a few Hasegawa and Revell each in /132. I really like the Trimaster and Dragon kits I have in 1/48. Every once in awhile I'll buy another 1/72 or 1/144 as the detail just keeps getting better if ya read the reviews to avoid the horrible messes. I was going to say cheap horrible messes but I realized that's not the case anymore. Now it's #%^$ expensive horrible pieces of Cr#p! Maybe many pieces of Cr#p because it hit the wall literally. I just read one modelers soapbox rant about HK Models B-17 kit. He couldn't believe that he spent that much money on a big kit with hardly any engine details and the cockpit was very toy like. I feel his pain as I've run into this on different kits. I read reviews like crazy. I could imagine opening one of my kits like Zoukei-Mura's Hs 129, Ho 229, or Do 335 and just finding two halves to a plane, a seat, and an Army man on a stretcher. LOL
Keep up the awesome work.
Cheers,
Don

No the Revell one got its first colors on alu base, and i have to admit, the thin and presure combination for the Evolution gives me some Headache.
The Alu effect disappeared...

Played around a little with setup ideas for a small Dio for the Airfix Swallow.
I think i will do separated albums for the inished birds.. This is getting a bit chaotic... 🙂
