    Me262A1/U4 Finished " Spoils of War"

    Well I've finished my first diorama, had to build one as I didnt take notice that it was tail heavy

    Now before anyone asks the figures and loader are leftovers from a B-17 I built, I wanted to try and create a story, right or wrong around it. So the crew are looking it over as they are first on scene,,, I know lots of holes in the story but I can live with it

    Anyway comments welcomed as always

      Nice one Adrian.

      Your story is entirely plausible. After being captured at the end of the war at Lechfeld this aircraft was handed to the nattily named 54th Air Disarmament Squadron. They were the ones who fairly obviously made the aircraft safe and initially named it "Wilma Jeanne".

      Cheers

          Nicely done Adrian, simple but brings a bit of history alive.

          A cracking dio mate.

            Thanks for the positive words all, to answer the few questions,, the guy at the back isnt actually holding it down though I can see why it looks like it now, lol.

            The kit is a Dragon 1:48th and I thought it was a great kit, just had an issue with the hatch where the cannon is, hence the loss of detail but I'm happy with it.
