Time for an uodate on my 262. Got the cockpit finished up. The IP is all Eduard. I know the RLM 66 is a bit off on these sets, but i still really like thyem, certainly better than i could paint.

And the rest of the Pit. Here you can see the differance in colour between the Eduard PE and what i painted. Seatbelts are HGW, love these things.

And the gun bay was finished off minus the wiring. The bay and guns were all done with Alclad.

Got the top part of the pit fitted after fitting the IP. I wired up the back of the IP based on some pics of a build of these kit i found online. I could find any pics of the back of the real thing.

And then got all in inside parts of the fuselage fited, including the compass at the rear and camera at the front.

And got the fuselage together.

More soon.

Thanks guys. Yep, i do build 32nd now and again. This kit does come with clear parts for the entines but i am not a fan of those. But i am looking to cut open some panels on at least one engine.

I'll be doing Green 1 of JG 7.

Oh My!

  I certainly wish my Clear one had been that large. That has to be one the Prettiest twin Jet Fighters Ever developed in W.W.2. I just have always thought the "Swallow" was a fit name for it. Might have come from the " Bad Guys" back then, but it's still beautiful today!

Now that's going to be a big one. 

All of these 1/32 builds got me thinking of another distraction lol.

I can't wait to see this all painted up.

Good for you Bish... 

From what I can see of the photos, it looks like it has nice details. Have you determined the camouflage and specific decals? 

Don't mind if I follow along do ya?

Next on the bench, Trumpeter's 32nd Me 262A-1a. This is my first Trump aircraft kit and all the reviews say its a great kit and the detail looks amazing.

I'll be adding Eduard PE, HGW belts, metal barrels from Aber, resin wheels and EagleCal decals.

I have been getting the interiour together ready for priming and painting. These are mainly cockpit parts.

The guns together along with the metal barrels.

The inside of the fuselage with the none coloured PE added.

And some more interior parts along with the gun bat and undercarrage bay parts.

Next up primer and paint.
