johng Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Several months ago, I posted pics of the cockpit that I remodeled for Admiral's big Me-262A as part of an overall improvement rebuild. It's at the point where it can be called 98% finished so I wanted to show it off. First, there are photos of the same model, but with a different camo scheme, so you can see the way it came from Admiral with lacking details the way you would expect a toy to look.

johng Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Now for the remodeled plane. Comparing the two, you'll see what has been done to add detail and improve the overall look, eliminating the toylike features of the original. There is still some work to do in the gun bay, and a retaining wire to be made for the canopy. The plane also needs a final matte finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Starting to look very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 So that's it. This is the nearest I've come to building anything in quite a while. Got to try some new things like printing my own stencils on decal paper. It was easier than expected. Found new (for me) ways to use wire and aluminum tubing and a host of bits and pieces found in the old spares box and the junk drawer. This scale is a real challenge because you're on your own for detail pieces since there is no aftermarket. That adds to the fun, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
