discussion Revell Me262 B-1/U-1 Nightfighter Club Competition Build

[slupanter]

Hey all,

I am in a club build competition at the moment, I chose to do Revell's 1:32 Me262 B-1/U-1, sort of AlanG's fault but he doesn't know it.
The kit has some stupid issues, like the tub is weak and the front tub wall doesn't fit the fuselage. Here is where I am with the build.

Thoughts and feedback are welcome. :smiling3:

Fine looking cockpit and despite the issues I am sure you will do it to a high standard.

Thanks all; I wish I were doing an all open, but I don't have the time as I am racing to finish for the comp (14/12/21) and the closer house move .

Very nice start and the Photo in the cockpit is a great touch.

It's great to see this being built. I built a 1:72 some time ago are really liked the look of the aircraft. It's one I'll do again, in a larger scale.

Great detail in that cockpit!

Thanks to all; update:
The wings don't sit well, and if I had my time again, I would push the fuselage out to meet the wings better; the engines don't like fitting either. Best to add either open Jumos or empty nacelles with just the hood and rear on show :rolling:

Looking superb alex , the cockpit is fantastic , loving the personal touch of the photo . Looking forward to the paint job , cheers tony

 

[slupanter]

Painted the mottling and the squiggles and started adding the RLM22 but I had an accident due to my AB lid popping off, gutted but I can fix it with 1000-2500 grit.
The mottling and squiggles will tidy up and tone.

 

[slupanter]

Edited my scheme/aircraft # as I was not happy. Doing red 12 now.

 

[slupanter]

Finally moving on with the painting again

 

[slupanter]

Nearly there
