Darren Howie Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Build either really id go with what i can get cheaper which will vary dramatically around the world. Assumptions that Revell are cheaper are a falsehood. Right now you can get the Trump kit for quite a bit cheaper here “if” can find a decent priced Revell kit. Ill be using my Trump ones for those produced late war which where reniwned by JG7 guys as being not even airworthy on delivery. Poorly finished, panel misalignments etc from the labour camp workers forced into production facilities. It took them several days to a week to get them into acceptable flying condition. Definitely recommend the JG7 book from Bochme with regard to just how roughly manufactured late 262’s where. Use the Revell kit for earlier production or one of the few well manufactured ones which seem to of been very few and far between. There are plenty of good builds of the Trump kit and now the Revell kit. Dealers choice.. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Jock Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have the Revell M262A-1 on the bench currently, having worked on the Trumpeter kit several years ago, I op for the newer Revell kit. Does have it's fit and shape issues, but not as difficult to correct as the Trumpeter kit, particularly the Trumpeter mad riveter did not descend on it with obscene sunken rivets all over it. My opinion anyway. John1 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Both kits are far from great models, but I prefer the Trumpeter. It goes together better. The Revell has a some better detail in areas, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashotgun Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 i am currently building the trump it is not that bad the rivets are very petite and not all the older machines had the putty anymore. Right now revell germany in the usa are impossible to get. I was looking for their fw 190 a 8/r2 none around there are in UK with 30 to 45 dollar shipping so no. also few hasegawa as well the pandemic and global shipping etc has decimated the hobby but otoh I still have a pretty deep stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palm-tree Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Nice work there on yellow three- did you do the tail by airbrushing around paper templates? Sorry if I missed the explanation in an earlier post. I am building the illusive Revell Me-262. A nice kit although the nose panels need a bit of sanding and puttywork to blend everything in. Somebody mentioned the word slats earlier....what about them.... can you elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
