Hi Chris,
looks just like a Me-262 on steroids!!

Looking good Chris.

That was the basic concept Kev.

After a week of our youngest son using the craft room as an Office I've managed to progress a bit further. The cockpit is finished and the canopy tacked in place as it will (hopefully) be cut and opened with etch to fit on the frame. Etch has also been used for the scissor links and the DF loop. Undersurfaces are Vallejo RLM76 Lichtblau, sides Mig RLM02 Grau, with uppersurfaces and mottle Vallejo RLM 74 Graugrun and RLM 75 Grauviolett with the latter being Humbrol 246, Chinese product, so it took a while to get it to spray then ages to clean the airbrush. The u/c was then fitted and the locating tabs aren't very positive which resulted in sinking when left to set in the upright position, hence it being sat on blocks to try again.

The pure joy of model making!

Its why we do it - or is it that we are just mad ?

I thought 'Madness' was quite similar to 'Genius' in some people's beliefs.
Perhaps us modellers dip into each as we go along.

I think I dip one way more than the other - will leave it up to Zak to decide which way - hohohohho

Strange but nice looking. Good work.

Looks good Chris.

 Decals added using a combination of Xtradecal set X72257 Luftwaffe Fighter Reconnaissance by mixing 4.(F)/14 (1940) and 2/NAGr.14 (1945) which both had the Stammkennzeichen (radio code) of 5F and it's Hakenkreuz, with stencils and crosses from the kit decals. All the remaining small and etch parts were then fitted before a coat of Satin varnish was applied, followed by glazing the camera ports with Glue and Glaze. The cockpit masking was then removed and the model declared finished.

Looks the part.

Looks good, the figures set it off.

Hi Chris,
Nice job of another 1946 'what if'.
Next item please......
Bigkev

Nicely finished Chris. The figures just show it off.
