Nice kit ! 🙂
@ Trez : Airfix is not better, nor Academy, nor Hasegawa ! There are no "reasonnably" perfect Me 262 kit at this scale, all of them suffering of some trouble, all of them having some great qualities... The Revell one is the best one in terms of quality, very easy to assemble, Tamyia stuff quality overall... but it suffers from a problem nearly no one can see, a positive incidence of engines nacelles regarding wing's incidence. Not easy to see at all for sure !
According the type of 262 you wish to built, you can combine sub-assemblies of specified kits to ease your correction work.
Czechs craftmen have a nice potential future kit with this one !

Hi Transall NG, thank you for the comment and insight! You mention the Tamiya and Revell kits - I assume you mean 1/48 or 1/32?
I have a fair few Czech/Eastern European kits - very good indeed - top of their game. There will always be newer kits that want to jump into your stash but I find it's like looking for the end of a rainbow. Eduard Volume 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 where does it all end? I prefer to check the kits I have and make my own adjustments within my limits - otherwise model kits are saturated with the dreaded After-Market thus stifling initiative and creativity whilst emptying one's pockets!

Hi Trez,
I like your above comment, it's all part of the fun doing custom work and improving...l like scratch building little bits n bobs n details.
I'm trying to discipline myself on buying, lm trying to stick to build one buy one🤣
Trouble is if l buy a model with intention to build next..... Something else pops up !
How did you get on with the mottled effect on this build?? Did you practice on paper first ??

Yes, it does seem to be a common issue🤭
I didn't practice on a piece of card or plastic sheet (which is the right way) I just go from one test bed kit to another. But what I found is - low pressure, higher dilution and end cap off airgun. Really best if one can get the thinnest line possible on a practice sheet. If it goes wrong it's no bad thing to tidy up with the base colour

The air intake on this kit needs to be rebuilt. It's not too difficult. Worse is the flash on the nose cone. Mine was a blob of plastic that needed to be filed down to shape.

It's been awhile since I finished this kit. I think what I did was separate part of the top half and put a styrene sheet in there. Here is a photo: P-51 D Mustang | Album by Skyhiker (1:72)

Sorry Bill, missed your comments due to wrong settings.
Just been looking at Chrysler Imperial rear pictures, and your right there is a sort of similarity. It's something I never considered. Bodywork has been fun and a good learning curve

Catching up with this build so got the interior completed after some mods to the dashboard and steering column. Rear bed is made up of drink stirrers painted then sanded for the worn look.

Prop-shaft problems with a bad fit so lengthened it and cut out the middle of chassis for extra depth then bridging the gap with scrap plasticard.

Mated the chassis to body but not happy with end result. The wheel/tyre combo looks strange and the front end is not low enough.
So put on back burner while I look for another suitable chassis and some low profile tyres.

Right plan B using 1:24 Revell MK1 Golf GTI chassis, engine and running gear.
Actual layout is not far off so hopefully minimal cutting will be required.

Spent the afternoon cutting and trimming with the Dremel to get the chassis to fit. I have to say this is working really well (so far!). Middle section will need further adjustment to fit flush.

More grinding and cutting and the chassis fits just fine.
The entire front clip and engine bay looks spot on. Why didn't I think of this earlier?

Me too!! Not sure about the wheel base. I think I may have to narrow the front and rears chassis parts so the wheels fit in the body. Even with the VW wheels and tyres it's a tight fit.
Some research is required before any surgery takes place.

Bought a Dremel flexible shaft which has proved invaluable for this project. I've had to grind material from the inner body and interior tub to achieve the stance I'm looking for and to get a good fit the chassis parts.
So far the VW tyres/wheels will fit on the front using kit parts.

Slow but steady progress. Front end is now done after more grinding to ensure a proper fit for the front clip.
Material removed from the front roll bar mounting area so it now fitts flush within the chassis.
Rear end parts narrowed slightly. Fuel tank had to be narrowed to fit the rear roll bar which now has a nice snug fit for the lowered look.
Hopefully the car will now sit nice and low at an equal height all round!

The flex shaft is my number 1 dremel attachment. To really make the most of it, get yourself a footswitch. I got a £10 industrial one from ebay and wired it in the middle of an extension lead. My dremel is always ready for action now.

Suspension parts usually do not get many colors. I paint them all near the beginning of the build so I can get to the 1+1 gluing stage.

Moving onto the bodywork. A couple of coats of primer to highlight the needy areas. More filler applied and slowly but surely I'm getting a decent base for the topcoat.

Wow! Just over a year and I'm resurrecting this project. Bodywork has been much improved over the last month with more filling and sanding. I've bought a pack of various graded wet n dry paper up to 1500 which has helped big time. Still not perfect and a learning curve but I am happy with the result.
Second round of painting using the new paint booth.

Resurrected this project [again] as it had been lying around for 2 years and the body was still not right in places the longer I kept looking at it.
24 hrs in brake fluid and paint was stripped for a second time (!), the photos show the end result.
It's not as bad as it looks and some areas could do with some extra work.
I have been looking at bodywork techniques so bought some Holts Cataloy knifing putty from Halfords for £2.99.
Applying it is an art form as it sets quickly so good practice on this body. Small amounts and one pass with the spatula seems best.
After sanding I've decided to refine the bodywork particularly the bumpers and rear.
So it is a restoration, remodel or build? 🤪

Engine now 99% complete. There were some fiddly bits - issues with fitting the air intake, having to modify parts to fit. The drive shafts should have been attached from underneath once engine was fitted in the bay, you live and learn.
The kit distributor was removed and replaced with a pre wired aluminium one from Hiroboy.
It is a nice little engine that fits well in the Subaru engine bay.
