REVELL Me262 "Nightfighter"


Chris/Germany

Recommended Posts

... so I decided to start my next "theme"-project, depicting german nightfighters.

 

...I set myself a time schedule of something around 2 years to complete the whole project...

Woohoo! :lol: Now that really is something to look forward to over the next two years! B)

 

Fantastic start Chris - as well as being a master ripper you are also a master of understatement...

 

compressor wheels made from alu-pieces,
alu pieces... it looks like you have the rolex factory doing special orders for you! How did you make those?!?

 

Great article too (I missed it when on holiday - thanks for the link). Also very sorry to hear of the accident. Isn't it amazing how people have so much difficulty understanding the two simple words, "Don't Touch" ?

 

I'll have to hurry and send a belated congratulations email to Chris Hannover now. I had no idea of his Bodensee expo win!

Chris, nice looking work. Very sorry about the corsair. how soon on the 110, which bird, radar.... did a college paper on the Kammhuber line for history class on year. the spinning Jumo will be a trick! will you use the Rutman 'pit?

Thanx mates!
Mike, the project will include ( at least) 2 Me110, one of them in an overall black sheme, the second one in nightfighter grey cammo, and I don't know which radar-equippment they will get 'cause the 110s will be started after the 262s are done.
Koala: will post a pic of how I'm doing the compressor-wheels while the build of the second 262, is much easier than it looks when the turbine is finished! wink.gif

cheers

framework on the wing has also started: main spar and front spar installed, positions of ribs marked. She will get a full set of "working-flaps", means: landing flaps are down, slats extended .

 

enjoy

Thanx mates!
As you can see........even an old REVELL can be fun! wink.gif
Hey Piet, here's the link to my article 'bout the built of my Jug "Hun Hunter " , take a look at part 2 where I precisely described my "hot-metal-technique" step by step.

Enjoy

I dont really think that even the rivets were sanded down at the Me's , if you take a look at the nice walkaround of the German Me 262 in the "German Museum" in Munich ( link were posted a few days ago in the "discussion" forum) still a bit of riveting is visible at wings and fuselage, although they are really, really flush and in some areas nearly covered by the paint.
Think I wont do too much riveting, except some areas on the wings were the engine nacelles are mounted and some access / removable panels.

hope this helps

cheers

Chris
