Two tail units terminated by disc-shaped rudders and aerodynamically cleanly blended into the fairings of two in-line engines towards the nose, with a teardrop-shaped nacelle for the crew in their centre: [...]
FROG, ME-262A, Kit # F248, (1972)
On my return back to this hobby, I've been wanting to build a big collection of FROG kits. Since April last year I have built five and restored one. This Me-262 caught my eyes the other day and decided to [...]

Nevertheless, I enjoyed making this unusual addition to my [...]
