What a great collection this is turning into, there's still a lot more versions to come and looking forward to seeing those.

Looking great Kevin. Will it appear at the club meeting?

Yes, it will be making its first outing.

Hi All,
Next 262 is nearing completion. This one is a Me262A-2, the bomber variant.
Mostly assembled just need to give it a couple of 'Kleer' coats in preparation for the decals and some smaller items to be added, masking removed from canopy.
The camouflage scheme was a bit of a task, the darker 'squiggle's' had to be hand painted with a fine brush. I think it looks not too bad,  and resembles the photo's of real airframes fairly well.
Some pictures of it at the moment.
Thanks for looking.

As they said in the film Jaws - your gona need a bigger airfield -hohohho

Very nice camouflage Kevin.  It certainly looks tricky.

[Bigkev]

Hi All,
Now declaring this one as finished.
All the various bits and bobs added, and varnished. The canopy has been unmasked and the clear glazing given a wipe of WD-40 to improve clarity.

Completed model represents:-

Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a Sturmvogel (Stormbird) of 1./Kampf Geshwader 51 1944/1945

Great paintwork Kev. There's some paint pens now available which can be used to create lines of varying thicknesses and which would have saved you a lot of work. I'm looking to source some at a Model Show.

Thanks for your comments chaps, much appreciated.
As to the 'paint pens' Chris, I am aware of them but as i have a goodly stock of paints, won't be adding to them to my collection. Hand painting just took some careful painting with well thinned paint and a suitably thin brush.

Another great looking model.

What next     

[chriswil42]

Excellent work Kevin.

[Bigkev]

What next     

Next up will be a Me262B-1 Two Seater, and another Me262A-1 single seater with an exposed engine, open gun bay, and canopy.
