I cannot see any pictures Joe.

Weird! I can see them. I did get signed out during writing the thread again. I will repost.

Rewrite of the original post as the pictures are apparently invisible to everyone but me.

First up the flying SC1000:


The Me262 V10:

The two combined on a base I created:

Well done Joe, amazing work and looks bigger than 1/72. Cheers

 

[Jim R]

That's a great result Joe. A very unusual subject and really well presented.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Really nice model Joe. Some impressive micro spary work on the bomb wing. Great result.

Top job Joe. And well done on finding something different.
The Swallow is a really nice looking aircraft. In my view, it just doesn’t look as old as it is.

Thanks Steven glad you like it!

Thanks Jim. Yes it is very unusual, as was the build with resin and white metal parts which were new to me.

Really nice model Joe. Some impressive micro spary work on the bomb wing. Great result.

Thanks Steve. The mottle effect and the bomb wing camouflage was fun to apply

Thanks Colin. I'm glad you enjoy this unusual model, I was hoping something different would be interesting to people. Agree that the 262 was a nice looking machine.

Lovely job mate!

Thanks Steve, I'm glad you like this build

Cracking job that mate, looks really nice, great little base too....

Cheers Peter. Just a simple base, printed a tarmac from online and stuck it to card inside an old picture frame

Looks great Joe. Very convincing on the base too...

Thanks Nick, I'm quite happy with this one and it was a lot of fun to build and paint

Beautiful job of a fascinating subject joe . Something I bet none of us have come across before. Looking at it now its no surprise that in testing the bomb was a bit unstable , imagine the turbulence from the jet engines when it was so close !

Thanks Tony. I'd never seen or heard of it before I built this either. I don't think towing that bomb would have been something I would have signed up for!
