Messerschmitt Me262 A-1a A-2a B-1a B-1a/U1

This is a Jo-han model originally released sometime in the 1970's. I made it as an an in flight display because I forgot to add some weight during the build! I am happy I did as the in flight display really shows off the shark like body of this jet. It is painted with a mix of Testor and Warbirds (out of production) paints using a Paasche H airbrush. The concept for the camouflage came from a Peter Allen "What If" profile on the Luft46 web site. The cockpit has instrument panels added for both the pilot and the radar operator. A mix of kit decals and Eagle Strike German insignia was used to produce the markings. The display plaque was created with a painted wood plaque, photo shopped image and a brass rod.
