This is not the gretest of kits, bad fits, big gaps and flash, apparently this is not Dragon's mold, but a re-boxing of another company that is no longer around. Glad I stuck with it, (A few times it nearly went to the shelf of doom), I am happy with what I ended up with, knowing how much work it took to get there.
Camo colours are Gunze acrylic and enamel, other paints used were Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, Vallejo metal colors, AK enamel washes, a bit of oil paint for stains underneath, Flory dark dirt wash and Vallejo matte varnish.
Your efforts were well spent! Very nice!

Very nice. Your paintwork is impeccable, as always.

The kit was originally tooled by Trimaster in the late 80's. As originally released, it was a multimedia kit including PE and cast white metal parts. When Dragon acquired the moulds, the cast metal parts were retooled in plastic, but I believe the PE parts remain unchanged.
Quite a number of Dragon's 1/48 German aircraft kits (He 162, FW190 family, Me 262 family and a handful of others) have the same origins. The Trimaster kits were great for their time, but that was nearly 30 years ago.
Done a great job on these despite the issues. Great looking build.

With all the issues you've encountered, you have truly overcome and persevered. Your Me 262 looks fantastic! I like how you opened panels out to show your work. Great camoflauge as well!

Several variants from a few makers over on Ebay. Just plug 1/32 ME262 in their search bar.
Hey Grant, an excellent build on a scary Nazi war machine. It certainly looks menacing with its cannon. All great, especially that camo and engine view. Keep up the good work!
