LW's Great White Hope

[silence]

The Luftwaffe's Great White Hope (Yeah, its a crappy picture but all I have is a cheap phone camera). Just something I thought I'd have some fun with.

Like the shark mouth, but where are the gills?

 

[silence]

erp!

 

[GrauGeist]

Which version of Me262 is that?

That looks like the A-2a or possibly a A-1a/U3 with a single Mk108?

 

[Wayne Little]

Cool...something a little different!

 

[Wurger]

Looking like 'what if' category. But done nicely.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That is a neat idea.

 

[GrauGeist]

That is a neat idea.

I've looked out there and haven't found a photo recon 262 but with a little "kit-bashing", one could probably use an A-2a easily enough (some A-1a/U3 were armed, some weren't)

Actually have never been to the museum there at Chino. I spent alot of time at Chino as a kid in the 70's, but that was mostly fooling around in the boneyard (old movie props, surplus/salvage airframes, etc.) that used to be along the western edge of the airport perimeter while the guys were in thier hanger swapping lies and working on thier aircraft

Here's one for you: 1:48 HobbyBoss Messerschmitt Me 262A-1a/U3 - HY80371 - with two guns.

 

[Wurger]

Yep... but it seems that the Me 262A-1a/U3 had bulges at both sides of the fuselage.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I guess that would be a hammer-head shark

Nice work!
