Messerschmitt Me 262 A-2a 9K+YH of 1/KG 51 based at Rheine Autumn 1944

User Name: Crimea River
First Name: Andy
Category: 1 Advanced
Scale: 1/48
Manufacturer: Tamiya
Type: Messerschmitt Me-262 A-2 with Kettenkrad
Used OOB decals, added scratch built details and Eduard PE seatbelts.

Well, here's the final product with the obligatory photos. This was a challenging build as I had not attempted such a complex squiggle pattern camo before with an airbrush. I've learned a lot and know I can do better the next time.

Thanks to all who took interest in the build and to those who provided detailed references on the subject aircraft.

I think u've surpassed ur best work Andy, cause this one is just beautiful...

Do u think u can do a re-do of ur pics, without the base.... Its very nice but distracting, and come judging time, all eyes should be on the kit, not the presentation....

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I appreciate them very much.

Here you go Dan. Figures and dio removed. Let me know if these are still not up to snuff.
