Me 262 HG III Entwurf III "What If" (Amusing Hobby 1/48)

March 18, 2025 · in Aviation · · 18 · 188

This is a relatively new Amuzing Hobby kit from their "What If" series. This plane certainly didn't exist. But it's a nice kit for a build where you don't have to think about authentic colors, historical accuracy and so on. Just add a bit of your own imagination to a fantasy kit and that's it.

I made a "captured" version using spare Yugoslavian Partisan decals - this was one of the options for the Bf 109G-10 from the Exito "The Last in Line" decal pack. So that's the RLM 74/75/76 scheme with overpainted areas.

Thanks for watching!

  1. Very what-iffy. Well done

  2. What a fantasy. Finished fantastically.

  3. Excellent result, Dmitry!
    Congratulations!

  4. G’day Dmitry (@starfar),
    That would have been an interesting aircraft to try and fly and land - a bit like a jet powered Gee Bee.
    What-ifs can be fun if you don’t thake them too seriously.
    Liked!

  5. Nice work on this what-if 262, Dmitry @starfar

  6. Great looking build. Very eye catching design

  7. Interesting, and well executed! Looks great.

  8. What-ifs are always fun as long as there is some logic to the design. I couldn't think why the cockpit would be so far back until I figure that engines and fuselage fuel would be on the center of gravity. The Germans had some wild ideas and some of them might have actually worked.

    Great build! Regardless of the subject, I enjoy seeing well built models.

  9. Lovely work Dimitry @starfar.
    Wonderful in a slightly bonkers way - love the partisan markings!
