That will be different Kevin. An intersting conversion.

Hi All,
Project a bit further on. Cockpit now painted. The nose wheel bay has been filled with Milliput, and I've added a little plasticene and some lead shot in front of the cockpit, a similar process has been done to the upper nose also.

Excellent detail Kevin.

Great detail in this scale.

Looking good. I usually put weight in the front of the engine nacelles as well to stop tail-sitting. Are you going the 'whole hog' and making a beaching trolley?

great for sooooooooooooooo small a model

Hi Chris,
Yes, I have also added plasticene and lead shot to the engine nacelle fronts. I'm also making a beaching/handling trolley for it to sit upon.

Great,looking forward to seeing that.

Main airframe now complete. I had a little problem with one of the engines. I lost one of the nose cones to the carpet monster. Grrrr......
So, having an Eduard Me262 in the stash, and having a resin open engine for it, I decided to cut off the front edge off one and mate it to the now 3/4 built Trumpeter version.
A little bit of fettling and a dab of filler and I had something that matched. (Note I still need to add the bullet fairing in this one)
Then it was sprayed in Tamiya Grey Primer, a few touch ups here and there, and now ready for float assemblies, mounting hole already drilled.

You are the Me262 man now!!

Thanks Zak,
But I'm not to sure about that...........

You must have nearly a full squadron now Kevin,  great work.

Coming along nicely Kev. The carpet monster also struck my Seamew build. Greedy bugger innnit?

Quite a voracious appetite I think.
