    Though long on the tooth, it still builds to a decent model, I do also have the DML/Trimaster kit, a Hobby Boss and of course the excellent Tamiya. So I figure I will start with the Monogram reboxed Revell classic.

    Hi Chuck! That kit does build up into a nice model; looking froward to seeing another one done. The Me-262 is my all-time favorite airplane!

    Thanks John, funny how my other choice to start with was the Hase Hs-129, but opted with the 262. Good choice on your part to start the GB with.

    Good morning Mike, it is the Monogram kit reboxed by Revell. Raised panel lines but accurate shape overall.

    Good am Spiros, thanks for the inspiration and look forward to tackling this kit. Does take some work which is as expected.

    Good morning Paul, if I had the space I would do a series of 262's as I do have 3 more in the stash all different producers (DML, Hobby Boss and Tamiya). But I wanted to do just the one and maybe the DML too, but with the Ju-188 almost finished, I may either do the Pro Modeler Do-217 or the He-111 next will see.

    @uscusn Chuck, I think you are in your element with anything with two engines jets or props. A year is a long time - I’m sure we will see some stunning stuff!

    It is hard to beat a Revell/Monogram model, Chuck (@uscusn). They turn into great models with a little TLC. Looking forward to this build.
