Guillaume BlanchetWow! I'm very impress by the quality of this kit. I bougth it because I had a gift certificate to spend at a local hobby shop & almost fell off my chair when I opened the box and saw the amout of details this kit have. It's going to be a long long & fun build.

dennefit isn`t too good around the nose, instructions are confusing in some areas.
But nontheless a nice kit. Got to build a trumpeter 262 for comparison one day.

Carlos MartinThanks! I really appreciate your comments.
I didn't like the Airfix model, too basic at places and several parts simply didn't fit. (The fit of the jet engine of the wings is diabolical!) On the positive side, I got to practise filling, sanding and rescribing. I know I overdid it but I was getting better towards the end. Next time!

Greg BakerVery nice Ricardo! Did you built the base just for this model? Or is it a multipurpose one?
29. June, 00:37
Ricardo ReisI bought it from a modelling shop just for this model; I glued a grass paper from train diorama supplier on top of it, drilled a hole for the brass tube and that was it

Łukasz GlińskiPretty good? Wish I could do such a nice mottling. Nice build, despite the canopy issue.
27. May, 08:48
SkywalkerI used a 0.2 needle to do the mottling. I think if I had a 0.15 I could have had more control. A new airbrush is on my wishlist.

Megan Harris question. How do you get the weathering effect on the panels with the silver. Like the metal showing through the paint? looks awesome
22. April, 21:22
Oscar AlonsoHi Megan, I don't like to use metallic colors for small scales for chipping, use light grey near panel lines.

Jay DubyaThis model, with the Tempest looks a bit whiffy to me Greg - got something planned?
4. February, 07:55
Greg BakerHeh... good catch. I started plotting out a bit of work for my "Voir et Savoir" collection - which is basically a crossover between my Tintin projects and real world WWII subjects. The Tempest is bound for this project :
Tintin: Voir et Savoir 57 - Hawker "Tempest V" | Project by strobez (1:144) - so it is a bit WHIFFY. The Me262 is in the same boat, but I also have the better Trumpeter kit (earmarked for a Leijiverse collection project). However, yesterday I dropped my Hard Drive and killed it, wiping out months of work on a master decal template I was going to get printed. So some of those more intricate projects are on hold.
I still plan to fancy them up small motors for the props, so it should be fun. I just spent a few days retro-fitting all my 1/144 Area 88 builds with micro USB plugins, so I started to get some ideas. I originally wired them all up with USB plugs, but the wires started adding up and causing havoc - taking up shelf space and creating weird balance/stability issues that would see projects go flying off the shelf, dragged down by a USB anchor and chain. Now they all have the best of both worlds. You can plug them in with a USB cord when you want to see them in action, and remove the cords when not needed.

bossy122For those of us who don't know, what does that thing on the nose accomplish?
28. January, 01:08
Matthias SimonI wrote it in the album description
The Me 262 V-2 in stage 2 was fitted with fin on its fuselage nose for unknown measurements. It is believed that this was a acoustic test measurement
28. January, 01:31
Matthias SimonAlso.... it wasn´t the original Me 262 V-2.. it was a later Me 262 A-1a which was renamed to V-2
