Messerschmitt Me262 HG III moc

Yeah, it looked ok with the candy bar wrap but it became a bit shabby after a while ( it started to show an unsmooth surface after a while), so maybe a clone quality issue? ;-)

So lucky for me i found the right redbrown tape from the same brand as the green tape and redid the whole thing ;-(



And while i was at it, i also made the landing gear in the outward position, which i think gives much more diisplay quality;







Funny thing is that when i placed the landing gear at the right spot the tail became to heavy..... So i used double adhesive tape and used 2 heavy iron bolts at the inside of the nose :-)



Here is an official blueprint that shows the correct placement of landing gear;



Here a view of a plastic model kit;

...and final the comparrisson with a normal 262 to show the swept back wings;

well, actually i have only 5 German jets;


And believe it or not, i only bought 3 Me 262's.....

I started out buying 3 to make the Ho229, and hoped to have enough parts left to make 1 Me262

The most needed parts for the Ho229 were the redbrown parts, and in particular the slanted tiles used for the wings

It turned out i really needed 3 Me 262 sets for the Ho229 for those redbrown tiles but i also needed that Russian tank which had a lot of redbrown parts also
Those redbrown tankparts were critic too because i used almost every last onr. of them on all my planes

After making the red 13 me 262 easily out of the leftovers from 3 sets, i found out i could make the Ta183 also,and even make another Me 262 ( the Schall one)

And even the Me 163 i had lying around in parts, i didn't have to buy anything for it

Same goes for the HGIII, a lot of mix and match of redbrown tiles from above mentioned i still didn't had to buy a Me 262 extra!

But this only goes for the redbrown parts (and a bit less for the light grey parts, which i didn't use on the Ho229)
I got to mention that i used a shitload of green parts, especially tiles, from my own personal stach and other much needed parts i had lying around

...but i am planning to make a He162 volksjager ( to make the 3 existing operational jets complete) which is actually a bit of a longer me163 in shape, so i'lll have to buy a 4th me262 for that one
....and i sacrified the red 13 Me262 for the HG, which i am thinking now that that one is missing
....and i'm not really satisfied of the appearance of the Me262 Nowotny wing camo scheme ( i used all slanted redbrown tiles tfor the other planes) , what you see now on the picture were the leftovers of normal redbrown tiles
