Watching with interest too - this will certainly look nice next to your Bonanza...

Casey Beckett
Thanks Alex - The Bonanza has stalled as I am trying to figure out how to make the camo look hastily applied without being just a crappy paintjob!

No exhausts in the kit! Yikes. Slight oversight there, KP!

KP is KP. Plenty to do to make things work. One of the best brands to learn how to scratch build, because they won't do the work for you. In fact 90% of the time they do it wrong just to give you the skills to correct things.

Cuajete
I think that's the best excuse I've seen to justify a high-selling brand making a bad kit 😄
In any case, you're doing a great job so far 🙂 👍

The "new" revell modell is a nice job to do, the old one was terror 😜

Chris T. An
Welcome Jan and Gerrit. And yes, the old 1963 model is horrible. this "new" one from 1997 is much better.

Gerrit Rost
If you take the landing gear inside, place some small parts of spruey under the doors for better fit in the boxes, especially for the front wheel

Revell canopies always suck.

Jan Peters
The canopy is the weakest point of the Revell 262. That, and the boxed in landing gear bay.
Mind you, some boxes hold better canopies than others, it is kind of a lottery.

Gerrit Rost
Get a file and tune it to a nice fit, and use white/ Wood glue for the canopy . I have build a dozen of this kit .

Chris T. An
Thanks for all your hints. The canopy is glued now. Still some work needed but I think it will be ok in the end. I am not a fan of buying all the aftermarket parts and accessories, so the parts OOB must be enough. No extra vac formed canopy. 😜

Great job thus far mate! I've built the same kit and the canopy fit was atrocious (could be individual error but Revell isn't famous for the fit of their models. Can't wait to see the progress!

Rudy Poseika
I did the ME262 from this kit earlier this year. The P51 is next in line after my current build. Your progress is looking 👍
