Is that a Christmas present or one from the stash? I hope the antenna are better than Heller's offerings, I'm still pondering how to improve mine.

Hi Chris,
From the stash I'm afraid. This moulding does not have any aerial array as part of the kit as it is packaged as a choice of Czech machines bot single and two seater variants. When I bought this it was a 'two in one', but in actual fact it is choice of a single or two seater with appropriate fuselages and interiors. I'm mulling the idea of making some aerials from spare etch strip and plasticard.
Some pictures of the sprues follow:-

I didn't realise there were so many different variants of the real thing, never mind 1/144 scale! It's a marvellous collection

I decided to build both the Eduard Two seat Me-262 and the Trumpeter single seat together. So here I have painted the cockpits. I have used some painted paper seat belts to busy up the cockpits and are now ready to install in the fuselages.

Both airframes mainly constructed. Trumpeter has been cleaned up, whilst the Eduard one needs some rubbing down mainly on the wing to fuselage joints.

You'll soon have a squadron, Obergruppenfuhrer!!!!

Nice work Kevin.

Hi All,
Well back to the bench. I have now got the two seater canopy on and masked using a set from Peewit. The fuselage was then painted RLM 76 Litchblau and a light mixed mottle of RLM 81 and RLM 82 sprayed over the fuselage sides and uppers.
Finally a thin coat of Litchblau was oversprayed to create the subtle fuselage mottling.
Some pictures follow, thanks for looking:-

Looking good, you'll soon have a squadron.

Looking good Kevin.

Dont think its a squadron think its a whole air force

Ssshhh, don't tell the wife!

OK - now what will it cost you - yoho yoho yoho

Someone who can model properly in the smaller scale! looks great.

Thanks Thomo,
We will have to see how I progress.........
