Me-262 Group build

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

Any scale, company, version.
All AM and PE allowed
Start and finish dates of March 1-April 30

okay, I’ll be doing tamiya’s new clear me-262. I will need tons of help on it, as I don not do ac. (the only reason I’m doing it is, because I am doing it for a school project on jet engines)

ok who else wants to join???

2

I’ll do one, out of the box, but I have to do it before the end of this month, for a customer… Does it count…?

3

Sure, dj. It counts. Just take pics during your build, post them after the start date, and amaze us with your blistering building speed (make it look like you built it in three days !)

I’ll be building a Trimaster Me 262A-1a in NMF.

If anyone needs color pics, I have cockpit, gunbay, wheelwell, and landing gear shots. Email your request, and I’ll shoot 'em out to you.

I would love to be a part of this, but there is no way I can finish one in just a month. I’m just too slow!

5

OK, Pix, I’ll do just that!

6

yeah do’t worry dj, I’ll probably start before the start date, because , I need to get this and tamiya’s gloster meteor with v1 done before april 23.

7

you got 2 months.

8

Knock, Knock…Let me in![:D] That will be fun. And of course, I’ll be waiting for your pictures.

9

Here is a good site with some color pics. These are the newly manufactured 262s, but the pics are great.

Wow, I’d love to get in on this one but with doing the USMC build and the Pearl Harbor build I just don’t know if I’d have the time. It is a subject that I’m very enthusiastic about, and I can’t wait to see how yours turn out.

11

Thanks for the link, Pix. Great stuff!

12

i’ll try and get involved but i’m getting really behind the clock with all my group builds[V]…
pix i knew you’d be up for this build!![:p] also many thanks for those links you posted[:)]…the “luftwaffe experten” one was particularly cool!![8D]

Can I join with my half built Italeri/Dragon 262?

There is no way I’d be able to complete a kit in 2 months, too many other commitments!

What a good idea!
I’m in , got a tamiya Me262A2 waiting for assembly.

Here’s another link to a few pages of good period Me 262 photos. Some are in color. They also show possible diorama settings.

OOOOOHHHHHHH!!! Count me in!! I’ve got Tamiya’s Me-262A-2a, and I need a good reason to build it.

Also, I think that Pixilater should be disqualified from this group build, as Me-262’s are all that he builds, and he will have a HUUUUUGGGGEEE unfair advantage over all of us!!![:D][:D] Heh Heh Heh!! Just kidding, Pix. I always look forward to seeing your Swallows. This will also give me a chance to try out that mottled German paint scheme that you gave me some clues on how to paint. I guess we’ll see if I learned anything from you…

17

I wonder if we can convince swanny to jump in with his clear me262.

18

Thanks, (I think), Gary. [;)] I do build things other than 262s, though.


[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

If you like Luftwaffe camo, here’s a scheme I’ll be using in the near future. (third one down _ R. Sinner’s bird) I’ve already got the sheet.

Pretty wild, huh?

19

wow, thats a neat scheme!!!

I’m looking forward to seeing the builds on this one. I’ve got Tamiya’s fighter version in the closet, but I’m not going to be able to join the build, because of various other commitments. The pics should provide inspiration though!
