Dragon 1/48 Me-262A-1a/U2 (V056)
The model depicts a Messerschmitt jet that was used as a test bed for experiments on the FuG 218 'Neptune' 158-185 Mhz radar set and antennas. The results were later used for the development of the Me 262B night fighter variant.

Dragon 1/48 Messerschmitt Me 262A-1a/U3 Reconnaissance
A model that I completed a while back that shows signs of aging. I had to repaint the yellowing balkenkreuz. The vinyl tires also eat their way slowly into the wheel rims. Yet, it is one of the prominent 262 in my collection thanks to the [...]

Well hit a few hiccups like [...]
HOBBYBOSS Me262 B-1a/U1
Having almost got my health back (not 100%, but getting there), i decided i'd build this HobbyBoss Me262 nightfighter. Fitment was good, apart from the shaped metal nose weight that needed a little grinding to allow the nose to fit [...]
A Review of 2022
This year seems it was a blur. With uncertainty with the pandemic here not here, masks no masks, economy was in disarray, gas sky high especially here in California. The year was cruising along but in April I received a note from the new [...]
Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Me-262B 1a/U1
Here is my favorite topic, unfortunately limited due to the handful of aircraft produced. The model plastic is nicely engraved and separated control surfaces are provided including slats. However, the model does not offer more details by [...]
