Me 262 1/72 Pro Monogram

An old kit but surprisingly accurate. Dimensionally the kit seems spot on. One small issue is that there is a fairly detailed cockpit tub but the wheel wells are moulded completely closed (and totally inaccurately)  

So with careful hacking and slicing the issue was rectified  

Cockpit tub good but missing some key parts. IP good but sight and post missing 

At least something has to be made for the non existent throttle quadrant - nothing fancy, just something to give a slightly better impression. A linkage rod, comms box, some levers and it’s enough for me 

The landing gear flaps need to be chopped up as per the manual. A brake line should be added and actuating rods for the inside flaps (remind me if I forget! ?) 

The actual nose wheel was a Bf 109G 10 so I swapped out the kit one for a spare - the tyre will probably be ok as different treads were used  

Nothing difficult here just lots of measures and adjustments to fit in the bulkheads. More needs to be added to build up to something interesting  

Again the forward bulkhead that will need to be built up
