Here is my finished Me 262 from the HobbyBoss Me 262A-1a/U4 1/48 scale kit. The model was built O.O.B. and was painted with Model Master II enamels. I tweaked the colors slightly to get them closer to known RLM colors, I like Model Master paints but their line of Luftwaffe colors are a bit off. 
There were very little choices in markings for this aircraft, my reference books mentioned there were three Me 262s fitted with the MK 214, two are well known prototypes pictured in most reference books but the third one is still a mystery. Last year I spotted a photograph of a partly destroyed Me 262 that had the MK 214 mounted in the nose, it had the markings of ''black 7''(or dark blue 7) and had the KG(j)6 RVD tail band on the fuselage and decided to mark my model as this machine. I used a mix of decals from the kit and my spares box to mark my model with. This Me 262 had a W.Nr. of 501322 which would suggest it started out as a standard Me 262 and was later fitted with a new nose section. Its anybodys guess if this aircraft was ever flown in combat!
BTW, there will be a new book published by JaPo on the final operations of the Me 262 & Ar 234 over the Czech territory and there might, I repeat MIGHT be some new information on the Me 262 I modeled. I have the first JaPo book on the Me 262s of the KG & KG(j) units and its a stunner!
