ME262A-1A

[MrT]

I haven't posted a lot in the last month, but I have been working on a fathers day gift I received from my wife. A Tamiya ME262A-1a. Of late I have not been able to complete a aircraft model for one reason or another. So I decided to do this one under the MA radar and not post anything unless it worked out. I needed to prove to myself that I could complete aircraft model successfully. So I have been in the model building monastery quietly building this kit. Well it's done. It is straight out of the box. Not perfect, but complete without too many mistakes. Here are the results.

Looks good from here.

 

[MrT]

Yeah don't get too close.

:laugh:

 

[Heavens Eagle]

It looks good Terry! I like it!

As to mistakes, we all have them and we learn much more from figuring out how to correct them than just being able to build a kit straight through.

Excellent Job Terry!! :dude

:v

 

[helios]

Yeah don't get too close.

We're all our own worst critics.

Looks lovely. The Luftwaffe camo patterns are so intimidating to me.

There's a double secret inside joke...

I haven't heard from him in long while. Hope he's ok. :zen

I heard from him after the 'intervention', saying how much he appreciated what was done, but nothing since then. I've reached-out a couple of times but... :idonno


I have a real soft-spot for the 262 one of my favourite aircraft and this one is superb, Terry. Really looking forward to the RoG 1:32 kit coming-out later this year.
