nmayhew Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 hi guys, just looking at the new(ish) revell Me262s... I am familiar with what's around aftermarket-wise on Hannants, but are there any plans for landing gear or cockpit sets at all? I see Eduard has Brassin wheels, and the Look instrument panels, but all the resin pits and wheel wells etc are for the Trumpy kits. Looking at the parts breakdown, it appears Radu managed to lock the Revell crazies in a sealed room when the landing gear was designed, but if there are Eduard Brassin gear I'd probably bite. I haven't followed Eduard's plans recently, so don't know if they have anything in the pipeline. Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 There's Löök on the way for the Fw 190 and P-40 but just regular painted etch for the Me 262, so far. I've just bought an etched set for the Revell B. The Revell rendition of the LG wells / bottom of cockpit tub look pretty good to me. (The Trumpeter needed a major uplift.) Brassin legs would be good. At the moment I am working out if the very sturdy metal Trumpeter LG legs may be fitted to Revell's Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Does that kit really needs more than a better IP, seat belts and resin wheels? Rick Griewski and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it depends what you want doesn’t it? Unless they suddenly got Tamiya or Wingnut Wings to do the tooling for the cockpit tub / wheel wells, then my answer would be yes. It’s the underside of the tub I am interested in because it is so exposed - the real thing is a mass of wires and pipes but that’s understandably not what has been moulded.

nmayhew Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 I like Yahu too - used it on my Spitfire there is a Look coming for the 262 btw https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ED634015 some of the dials are definitely not clocks, but it's about 'the look' if you'll pardon the pun - i'm not sure that in anything smaller than 1/24 you can really see exactly what the dials are without magnification, and you certainly can't see it through a canopy, no matter how much you polish it (open pit is different of course) I believe you also get Eduard belts included with these look sets, which seems pretty decent value anyway, it's the tub / wheel wells and maybe landing gear that i'm interested in just picked up the 2 seater kit for £24.99 shipped - that's just crazy cheap!!! am waiting for the single seater to come down whilst i put my Trumpy kits on ebay RLWP and AlanG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Was looking at dragging this kit out of my stash and giving it a go. Would love to get a couple of AM bits for it. Radar, cockpit and wheel bay are the areas i'm looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 i must say having a look through the revell instructions online, i really like the look of this kit! Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Would you guys be happy with a set of brass u/c parts from me? Aerocraft Models. i presume both single and two seater have the same u/c, been wanting to get a 2 seater for a while so I could pick one up to do the parts.

I've got the twin seater B night-fighter edition and also just got the Master FuG Neptun set — yikes, I might end up using the plastic parts and keep the tiny brass bits as a later upgrade. You certainly picked up a bargain. I'm interested in the A-1a single seater if it's out there for £25 in the not too distant future. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageEagle Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I’d take at least 4 as well! nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
