I have to say you did a great job there Ian & even without the final finishing touches it's an excellent build! Is that the "Sturmvogel" variant? It's quite a mean looking machine, the Me-262.

[yak face]

Fantastic job ian! The mottle and paintwork is super, and its good to see you havent forgotten the nose weight ( like I did when I did my 262 !!!DOH!!!) I really love to see an old kit get a new lease of life , with details added from scratch , and resulting in a lovely build like this.Looking forward to the finished pics ,5 stars at the ready! cheers tony

[stona]

That's looking good. My favourite jet! Top job on the mottle.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and Patric yes its the Sturvogel variant the fighter bomber although it had only two cannons up front to reduce the weight so i'm lead to believe . But im sure someone will put me right if i'm wrong, but it shows 4 on the model and i'm not sure if thats the case also
