Dont worry Daywaster, its not so bad this side of 40. I realise im getting old when i look at Brit-knee and think, 'She'd catch a chill in that outfit' bless her. Is she still nutz BTW? Hey, the knights of the sky GB just ended, that was one of yours Frank, then theres this one. How many GB's are you in or have started? A good dozen im reckoning. Before you think of rounding on me, Ill have some pics up later (Modelling pics, you filthy minded scallys), just to prove I am doing stuff. ...Guy

Thought I had commented on your Me 262+1 Aaron but apparently not. It looks awesomw my friend!!! ![Bow [bow]](/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif) ![Bow [bow]](/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif) Apparently only one flew but there was about a dozen in production when the Allies overran the factory. My Huma model had terrible decals so I had to do a fictional marking for mine. As for whar's next? How about a Me262+2? ![Mischief [:-,]](/emoticons/icon_smile_mischief.gif)

I always think "She looks cold. I should offer to warm her up". I kinda like 'em that way.

A dozen? Probably not far off the mark. I have nearly reached the closet where a Tamiya 262 supposedly dwells. Sure hope I can remember what I was going into the closet for by the time I get there. Where am I again?

Sheesh with such a guilt trip... I don't want to be the last guy who gets ragged on, so I'll leave that up to frank :p I have two choices as we see here... an A1/U4 of an A2/U2 And since I can't decide I asked for some royal guidance... ...which came to heads, or the A1/U4... another 50 mm cannon in the house. Hopefully I'll get some time on Saturday night to get it started.

Well, my books are on their way from HLJ (with $35 shipping, the emperor of Japan had better be delivering them, himself ) and the PE is on it's way from Squadron (maybe the emperor could swing by squadron and pick these up on his way over). I started drilling out the back of the IP for wiring, but then I realized I have no idea where the wiring goes. I'm sure it doesn't just dead-end someplace, so I hope these books have some decent reference. -Fred

Oooooh, I'd love to build that +2! I know there's a kit of it but have never picked it up. Oh well, I guess I should actually start work on my 262, maybe this weekend.

Hah, I wanted these badly and they both popped up on ebay a few days later... I scooped them up for like 15 bones. I consider them stolen goods. razordws wrote: | -Neu- wrote: | |

Yeah my limited work space and the fact I'm not ganesha with 16 arms I've got another build on the go, and I'm trying to draw out the 262 fun.

Oh no! Not Brittney Spears! Why did we have to bring here into this? ![Laugh [(-D]](/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif) Aaron: Very nice work on the Me-262+1. The paint scheme is really cool! ![Thumbs Up [tup]](/emoticons/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif) Neu: Nice buys! Can't wait to see them built, especially that A-2a/U2.

And so I begin. I've taken all the sprues from the bags and soaked them in warm soapy water. This picture shows some of the research I've done. I'm planning to do the middle 262 paint scheme. The detail set looks good but as always I am experiencing some trepidation about taking a razor saw to a perfectly good piece of Tamiya plastic. I'll get over that soon, I expect, and start hacking those molded in slats and flaps so I can replace them with these resin pieces.

Nice Choice on the scheme Steven, that was the same one I was trying to do. Something about that white nose and rudder tip really look sharp. The Model master RLM 81( a medium green) & RLM 82 (a poo~doo brown) are no where near those colors though so beware if that is your paint flavor.. I repainted it so many times It looks like it was painted with a roller. Mine is now going to the aircraft graveyard.![Banged Head [banghead]](/emoticons/icon_smile_banghead.gif)
