Me-262 in-flight and on the ground
original kit plus the PE to add detail....
i want to use the landing gear, so i have to split it from the wheel covers
for the infligh one, i can use the covers for the wheel bays
resin cockpit.
i want A2 version, so i need some gun ports here...
one drilled, one original A2
wheel bay closed. it will be improved later
a bit of paint, some details to be adeed.....
if i follow instructions, i can not sand the seams inside... and forget about painting....
dry fit... but i want to paint inside etc
that should do the trick
seem ok....
but there are some horrible marks.... that will need some ingenuity....
remove the original intake parts (top right) and made some replacements (left)
with the hole for the starter... maybe a bit to big but i like it
here you can see better what i added.
ah, added four parts to make it look better
PE seat belts, and some details, instrument pannel etc later.
why not drop flaps and slats? ok, let's try
not a scalpel... but the best for this surgery 😛
after some surgery in the right, left is untouched
i will try to make new slats with some metal sheet
that instrument panel needs a bit of color....
just a bit
details are visible
maybe with the closed canopy nothing will be visible but.... i know it is there
replacing the pitot in the wing with a piece of steel, was a good idea. i could have got the plastic one broken about 10 times already....
Primed, and sanding of defects. some panel lines need to be redone
Second 262 will have to wait

Started with deep green
That was supposed to be Olive Drab (XF-62), but it seems quite in the brown side of things.... well, artistic license 😛 .I actually like it, but I have some idea in mind yet....
The "yellowish" limes between the colours are just the white primer not fully covered. I actually did not plan for it, but when I was applying the second color, I liked the transition, and left it as it is

Well.... it did not work quite as expected.... I guess I will need to repaint 🙁
Need to work on the paint/thinner/air pressure.....

not much time for modelling lately, in fact the last pictures were taken more than a month ago 🙁
i think I am over-complicating this project......

Thanks for the links Martin, I will keep the pictures of 111712 for future 262 builds (in bigger scale). The others,....well, colorful, true but 100%whatif😉
Thanks Lode. Unfortunately not having much modelling time lately, and none expected in the coming weeks
Greg, what can I say? 😄

A bit of artistic license in this one, but I think I like it as it is. Close to the finish line now....

Oh, I like that. Get your artistic license renewed! You're putting it to good use!

Thanks John and Simon. Next steps are just masking/painting de canopy, decals, a layer of future and some panel wash, some simple rigging/antenna, so it should easy. I doubt I will try to do the thin white lines again

Nice work so far on these tiny Schwalbes Spanjaard, must be hard to handle such small models!

models are ok, the PE for the cockpits can be quite some fun.... the 262 has only a few details. but the Spitfire has basically a full PE cockpit 😛

Album info
Another dual build, one for my "flying circus" in-flight project and one on the ground.
if somebody can point out a Me262 in bright colours, i would love to hear about it... .the reason will be clear when the project is over....
the other will be in standard camo.
