Welcome on-board one & all 🙂 I am off work this week so I have made quite a bit of progress. All internal sub-assemblies have been made & painted so the cockpit halves can now be joined. Only after seeing my latest pictures that I have noticed that I haven't fitted the seatbelts 🙁 It's going to be a bit more fiddly but I will do it now!

they look good, but i would suggest to add some cables/pipping, it will be just amazing.

I'm not going to all that trouble Spanjaard, just to see it all disappear behind the engine nacelles 🙁 I might do one engine and use the clear nacelle?

TKS Cliff 🙂 Oh NO!!! I have glued the wing spar/U/C bay on the wrong way round 🙁 There will now be a pause whilst I figure out what to do?

I am building a 1/48 one. Of all my years of modeling this is the first ME-262 I have ever built.

I'm glad to chose the 262 for your next build Cliff, such a cool aircraft. I would like to build the night-fighter version one day. Well that was a pain in the arse, I had to split the first couple of inches of the leading edges of the wings so I could remove the part. Then I just kept brushing the old glue join with TET, let it work for a few seconds whilst GENTLY prizing it apart!!! Not pretty but it got the job done 🙂

Wings & other control surfaces are now on, almost ready for primer.

Glad you got it sorted out. Yes I want the night fighter also. preferbely in 1/32 scale.

I have, finally, got her all painted. I'm unsure if she's a bit dark?
Album info
The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe [German: "Swallow"] in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel [German: "Storm Bird"] in attack versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II began, but engine problems and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster, and more heavily-armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor. One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II, the Me 262 was used in a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance, and even experimental night fighter versions.
Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied kills, although higher claims are sometimes made. The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by attacking the aircraft on the ground and during take-off and landing. Engine reliability problems, from the pioneering nature of its Junkers Jumo 004 axial-
