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.

Johne 69
Thank you Nicolas, Roland and Skyhiker 👍
@Skyhiker : which air intake do you mean ?

Johne 69
Thank you for your tip Skyhiker 👍 but when i start to correct the mistakes of this kit where does it end ? How did you rebuilt the air intake at your kit ?

Skyhiker
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)

Started with the decals at the Tamiya Mustang.
Can somebody recommend me a decalsofter for
the Tamiya armorplatedecals?

Mr D
The Velejo decal soft worked ok on my Tamiya Harrier.....The roundals definitely needed good dose.
Good softener.
Nice paint job 👌👍👍

Johne 69
Thanx Mr D perhaps you mean vallejo 🤔
I have tested 3 different softener but I havent got the vallejo in my stash 😭
By the next possibillity i will buy one.

Mr D
Sorry Johne Vallejo 🤔
Yes it's definitely worth a dry, l was really impressed but it, the Rudder on my current HB lAR-80 ...the decal was bit oversized n a bump in the surface! the Vallejo just shrank to shape n looked painted.

Gerald
Hello Welcome here 😉

Thank you very much Gerald

Trez
Not a bad kit for age. Mods; Wheel well cut out, detail added / nose wheel well and doors detailed / single canopy cut to three parts - grab handle head rest detail on inner frame / whip antenna added / antenna wire / cockpit detailed - bullet proof glass - AM belts - map case - boxes - sight post and sight - twisted out of view for taxiing - wires - throttle quadrant / wing flaps deflected

gorby
Nice work.

Trez
Thanks gorby - this is one of my test beds. Hopefully next year I can build and display

Mr D
Nice... very nice 👌👍

Mr D
Will have to add one to stash once l build my next one on line-up.
Smart aircraft n great history 👌👍

Trez
Thank you Mr D! Airfix is probably your best bet at this scale

Transall NG
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 !

Trez
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!

Mr D
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 ??
👍

Trez
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

Mr D
Thanks Trez... For advice, l did struggle a little when l did my FW-190.
And intend to do a ME-262 in future....as l think it's historically a must have in the collection.
Cheers 😁👍

Michael .
