Trumpeter 1/32 Me 262 A-2a

[Paul]

I got this as a late Christmas present for my self and it arrived on Friday and I just had to tear right into it. The fit is pretty uneventful and it has a lot of space to do some super detailing only until I get my strabismus surgery next month I really don't have a good eye to do that kind of detailing. I have Jerry Crandal's Me 262 book on the way and I have hopes that it will shed some light on some different schemes to model. So far I have the gun bay done which will most likely be hidden and the cockpit almost finished but since I took some pics I can see there are some areas that need attention.

Well here we go













More later this week

Thanks for looking.

looking great Paul! I think you will enjoy this Trumpy offering, from what I recall the fit was pretty nice all around. Watching!

A Schwalbe project is always a good project!

As for the cockpit I can recommend to add those fancy yellow instrument wiring. Even with closed canopy it's well visible in the end.

Paul, even suffering from strabismus you do a mighty fine job here! Hope your surgery will be successful! Please let us know when done, ok?

Mostrich´s pictures are a good lead in colours used on the Me 262. What Crandall book did you order?

Mostrich, that 262 is looking awesome! That is truly one thing I love about this site, you see people building things that may not have been on your personal build radar; but once you see a quality build of a subject you start to get the itch of wanting to build one for yourself! Great work my friend!

Paul, best wishes for a painless and full recovery.. This build is looking pretty sharp!

[Stuart]

Yeah Paul I hope the sugery goes well.

Two great looking build guys!

I spent the whole day assembling the Eduard seat belts for this thing and they wound up looking like horse hockey. No pics this time but I am going to start buying nothing but the paper / cloth belts from now on.
