1/72 Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a, version is A. Galland, Jagdverband 44, München-Riem, March '45. #histscalemodels

262 Day12: Underside with the split panels appears to be the highlight of this version. On the home stretch now #histscalemodels

262 Day11: RLM81 (corrected late) is on. #histscalemodels

I am trying to pass it along to junior caddish, that's his own built collection so far. The eagle eyed spotts a silver Mustang, which was a rather sentimental moment as my Dad passed very early.

262 Day10: RLM82 is on. #histscalemodels

262 Day9: Bare Aluminum panels as to last days of the war scheme. #histscalemodels

Cheers to you, was a nice one 👍

262 Day8: RLM 02 late on selected parts and some work on the landing gear. #histscalemodels

Well... ☺️

262 Day7: Little bit of masking and out for fine grey primer. #histscalemodels

Plenty of time to find something, I have you mind mapped as modern armor guy, so maybe this?

Attention #histscalemodels community, with the current french themed GB going into its final days, it's time to prepare for the next one! Given the recent success of a broder theme, we came up with #ItaliaGB - All details are found in the deck card. Looking forward to all your stylish subjects! 🍕

262 Day6: The cockpit before the canopy closure. #histscalemodels

262 Day5: Wings and fuselage, some filler needed. #histscalemodels

262 Day4: Jumo 004s are on. #histscalemodels

262 Day3: Hull parts and lower wing are real thin plastic. Great for detail, less so for structural integrity. #histscalemodels

262 Day2: Office tub with 18 parts, great level of detail on this kit. #histscalemodels

262 Day1: Three nose weights in handy prearranged positions glued in. All credit to Arma and AmmoMig. #histscalemodels

As a last project before the summer holidays break I chose Gallands Me 262 when he was in charge of Jagdverband 44 in München-Riem 1945. #histscalemodels

Hi John, hours of weathering is what it needs 😁

I actually built this one 4years ago, it's a fun one. 🙂

Next up for #histbookchat a 800 pages heavy hitter that will carry me until the summer break at least.

Thank you Dave, the curse of reading Italian books 😎
