Always wanted to build the Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1/U4 with the big 50 mm cannon in the nose. The Hobby Boss kit is detailed but some moldings are a bit soft especially on the fuselage. The fit is generally good but some clamping action is needed where the wings meet the fuselage on the belly of the aircraft.
A must upgrade is the barrel and muzzle brake other then that the kit is good. The shape on the nose looks a bit of when looking at pictures, ok for me but not perfect.
kit: 1/48 Hobby Boss me 262 A-1/U4
colors: Vallejo Air RLM range
weathering: Done with Ammo and AK weathering products + pigments from Lifecolor.
Upgrade parts I used on this build:
-Resin wheels from Eduard
- Eduard Zoom Etch set for the cockpit
- Metal barrel and muzzle brake from Master
- Decals from Eagle Cal
I've already praised this model over at the IPMS Stockholm forum but it can't hurt doing it here as well! Lovely!
