This is Dragons 1/48 Dragon Me262 A-1a/U4. There was only two of these prototypes built and was designed as a destroyer/bomber, the stand out feature was its mk214 50mm anti tank cannon which I believe didn't work out too well due to its constant jamming in flight.
The kit itself was a bit of a pain to put together and there was some real fit issues and a lot of customization had to be done (especially to make the engines look similar as the open one was a quickboostand the kit engine and a more protruding exhaust), the build itself was put on hold when I ruined the canopy and had to wait for a replacement.
This is my second build (third completed) and was chose by yourselves on a vote poll, I have learnt a lot on this one but there are some things I could have done better/different and there's still loads to perfect.
Vallejo model air, tamiya and hataka (brown violet only) was used, instrumental panel was scratch built with aeroscale PE and decals, quick boost engine, master cannon (which is a must I think).
All comments and criticism welcome as usual.
Cheers.
