Erwin Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Hi all, . I call it "museum-replica" as it's painted in a fictitious scheme . Painted by brush with Revell satin enamels.Build straight from the box.No extra's. A joy to build .It all fits perfect. Only filler needed is with the fuselage top part.Cockpit to fin. I believe this is a seperate part to make it as two-seat nightfighter.Don't know if their is one. It does look a bit like a toy and lacks a lot of detail for such a big scale.It does have a simple cannonbay. But I don't mind. It's all about the " overall look" to me. I also made the Fw 190 a few months ago. Edited September 18, 2020 by Erwin Panzerwomble, RadBaron, Trak-Tor and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Well, the original was meant to be a toy so it's going to look the part. I kind of thought they might alter the molds somewhat to make them more like actual kits rather than unassembled toys, but I guess that wasn't feasible. The toy-like quality of the 1/32 vehicles the original company (21st Century Toys made the 262 mold, and yes there was a 2-seater) made was one of the things that made me switch to building models again. The 1/18 Me 262 nightfighter was one of only 4 planes in that scale I bought. Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CATCplSlade Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Back when 21st went under due to a gross misunderstanding of the toy department sales by Walmart's new buyer for that section, everything went on a massive sale but as I was invested in 1/32 I didn't buy much 1/18 but I had the Avenger, Me 109-E, Corsair, F-86, and the 262. I still have the Corsair and F-86 but sold the others. I paid $35 for the 262, sold it for $150. Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnq Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Very very nice build Erwin. I do collect 1/18 planes and have both the Me262 day & night fighter in my collection. I've not built one in this scale yet. Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
