1/48 Italeri (Dragon) Me-262a1

--------------------

 

Hi again, this is my 262, completed after a long period of absence from the hobby. Not much to say for this well known kit further than the great detail, tricky fit & horrible rubber tires that ate away the wheels which were eventually replaced by a True Details resin set (btw thanks for the tip Rafi!). Eduard pre-painted seatbelts were used, as well as some cabling from copper wire.

Model was painted with X-tra color enamels & finished with Testors semi-gloss acrylic varnish. Kit decals were great & settled down perfectly with a little Micro-set.

As you may have noticed, the forward u/c bay door is missing as well as an aerial under the fuselage, unfortunately these items are forever lost!

The next one will be much easier as I am now aware of all the tricky issues.

Hope you enjoy it!

Eugene
