Whoa! How cool is that! Really nice job on that one! You do good work. I did see a two seater in the Naval Air Museum at Pensacola Fl. and looked it over closely. Fun to see a model of it.

Way Cool!  great paint job.   I have the 1/72 revell model of the same one,  I think you've inspired me to take it out of the stash!

I think it was back in 1997/98I was traveling south on interstate 5 in California USA and in the north bound lane there was a 262 .

You bet I was surprised  if I could I would of turned aroundI would have. The hole fuselage was on the front half the trailer and the wings running along its side.

It was uncovered fully painted I think it had a blue fuselage band.

Being it was traveling exposed not going fare or maybe not real?

 I would like to know the story behind it.

That's pretty sweet. Nice job on the mottling and the tonal variation on the underside.

I made a visible one in 2016 by Trumpeter and loved it!  Did you enjoy building your Trumpeter Me 262?  Your Me 262 looks like it could take off right in your hands!  It is an extremely well done piece.  I am most impressed.  You did fantastic subtle molting job on the nachtjager!

WOW !  Excellent job on the camo and the build in general. I had to scroll through your pics 2 0r 3 times. You've made this good kit come alive.

Thanks again friends. Toshi, I did enjoy this build very much. In fact I've built the same kit twice. The fist one I built was "Red 10" and the camo was hand painted because I thought they applied the camo on the field by hand not airbrush :) .
